could it really be a dovii??

This fish has appeared on the local Ebay-equivalent, with the seller claiming its a dovii. Unfortunately its at the other end of the country so I can't go and look at it, but in the pics to me it looks more like a washed out salvini [or hybrid of?].

Obviously its the other fish, not the redhead or flowerhorn, and is about 15-20cm long. I've asked him for better pics and will post them if he can get some.

I think he is referring to the fish under the syn.
