help naming this cichlid

[eh1421]

Can anybody help me in naming this cichlid. I at first thought it was a convict but now i am not so sure.
He has a red belly and his fins a greenish blue color.
pics are not real good so i apoligize for that .

He was real hard to get a pic as all he does ever is hide.
The only time i really ever see this fish is when i feed.
I know you all know who he is so any help would be great
thanks
mike

before you post the pictures you can either crop it, or if you are using somthing simple, they usually have a streach and scew option, just shrink it 50% or so at a time until you get it the size you like. What you see is what you get. I think that about 600x600 pixels (I think) will give you a picture that will fit on the screen with plent of room to spare without making it soo small.

the red spangling in the belly area is a real good clue
