Help...is this a Mayan or festae?

Mayan - on Uropthalmus the spot covers more than just the top half of the tail while on a Festae it only covers the top half. Also the 1st vertical bar is normal/straight, while on a Festae it forms a "Y"
Note the spot on the Festae. On younger fish without bars, the spot is the only way to tell

Yes it's absolutely a Mayan cichlid, totally agree with frank.

I grabbed a festae that turned out to be a mayan a few years ago. I really wish I had kept it.
