You should be able to find some nice ones in any of those sites, if your willing to put out some big numbers :nilly:
 
It is a pretty good looking fish. It appears to still be quite small and seems to be growing some pearls. I bet if you isolated it and fed the crap out of it you could raise a pretty awesome looking fish. As far as an official grade I don't think it would score very well. Generally FH grading is based upon a number of traits. Head shape/size, color, pearling, flowerline, shape, finnage, temper/aggressiveness, eye color/shape, etc. Based on the actuall grading of FH I think it would be considered a low grade FH. Personally I find it quite attractive and I think with the right amount of care you will have a really nice fish. I have had a FH that was butt-ugly with no pearls, no color, no flowerline, no shape, at 5" to 6" and it turned into this fish which is now about 11" or 12".
Here is the before and after.

So don't let skeptics and grades bring you down. I call the FH the ugly duckling of fish because they have the ability to go from dung to DANG.:headbang2

Here is another example of a fish that was ugly.
