I agree Livingstoni, They have the cross thru the eye where the Venustus does not. That is how I tell them apart. I also agree it is a male with the blue on the face.

AGREED

I think its a venustus, dominate males can get blue in the face like that when they are fully colored up.

True, but look at the rest of the fish...
It's a Nimbochromis livingstonii, no question

mswift venustus have a brownish yellow on the rest of the body while livinstonii are more of a greyish white like this is.
