Welcome aboard
Looks like a common Jack Dempsey.

I agree, looks like a normal JD, just she is in her breeding colors.

Here is my female I had, she looks same as yours, in her breeding dress.

Thanks for the quick reply. Shes pretty passive for a JD

Here are 3 videos of Rocio (JDs) in a part of their natural habitat, in Riviera Maya Mexico just off the highway, south of Cancun. Colororation can vary quite a bit from Cenote to Cenote, but barring is very common.
