cichlid I.d? african? american???

[justarn]

Hey all, first off I'm a sucker for rare fish and I've never seen one of these so I snapped it up. It was sold as an egyption mouth brooder but google images didn't back this up, it was a trade in at the lfs so I dunno how accurate the name actually is! Pink, big blue eyes, orange side fins , and red blotches all over, top fin is really tall like my buttikoferii, species of tilapia? Any help?
