I'm not sure how much of a challenge identifying this cichlid is, but just for fun, can anyone guess what species it is?

My apologies for the quality of the photos.
 
No, it's not a Chocolate cichlid, although I do see how it resembles it. It also kind of reminds me of a Sunfish. I'll give a hint - it's an Acara.
 
Aequidens metae, aequidens diadema, aequidens tetramerus,aequidens coeruleopunctatus???
 
vieja hybrid?
 
Citrinellus, nifeman, you two are the closest so far. It is a Cichlasoma, but which one of the twelve described species? It's not Cichlasoma dimerus or Cichlasoma portalegrense (the Port cichlid), so your down to ten to choose from.
