Festae have smaller eyespots on the back while mayan's take up the whole cuadle peduncle (yes, thats actually what it's called) and the 2nd bar on a festae is normally broken or bent. All of this ones bars are straight but the eyespot looks just like the one of a festae. But the color seems more on the mayan side though. I'm stumped.
 
I'm leaning towards Mayan, but the eye dot on the tail is throwing me for a curve. Is it possible that it a hybrid?
 
All Midas/Red Devils start out looking like your pics as fry. Some change some don't depending on subspecies. That's amphilophus for sure. Might just be Red Devils or Midas, but not Festae or Mayan.
