Do you have a close up of the pellegrini? I can't tell from the video there.

Agreed. I thought I saw blue iridescence, but I couldn't tell if it was just the lighting even on the HD setting.
 
That's a funny looking pellegrini....it's a male steindachneri

Guess we will have to just agree to disagree because I know it is not.

How large are they? I can see why someone would think they are steiny's from the video/pic ... they aren't showing the 3 distinctive pellegrini traits (the spot above the lateral bar, the blue lips, the facial coloring) and are showing two of the steiny traits (the red hump and the blue iridescence) ... BUT those traits could be missing due to age (the blue lip and red face) or highlighted (the blue iridescence) or washed out (the spot) due to the lighting/camera flash.

Based off that one pic, I'd have to lean steiny as well ... but I'd want to know age/size and see a few more pics before I committed. If even geo experts have been fooled by young ones, it would be easy to see a collector/exporter easily getting it wrong.
