What type of Amphilophus species is this

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Since many Amphilopus species look very much alike its almost impossible to tell with just a photo.
But here are a couple pics of A sp Amarrillo I had to compare.



 
He really beats up on my female Amarillo. I got both from ciclids of America they are both F1 Amarillo but I thought they were supposed to be more yellow?
 
Agree w Gourami Swami, it could be a female beanii, I tried to make it more discernible.

Here are a couple shots of some beanii I had to compare.

male above, female below

and below a female in spawning colors
 
There are location variants of beanii, some with quite differing colors
I believe location Bayarte (sp?) is quite different than mine.
And at some future time one may be given a separate species status
