according to Juan Miguel's site The Cichlid Room Companion this species is currently in classificational limbo. that puts it in the exCichlasoma group. definitely a pearsei though and what appears to be a male Honduran Red Point below him.
Pearsei it is!...formerly Herichthys, now exCichlasoma (I seem to have a lot of those ex fish...and yes, that's a Honduran Red Point male below it ). Your up, Peanut_Power.
