Hoplias ID.

[Shanbast]

Good afternoon, I see this Wolf Fish advertised and upon asking, was told it’s a “Hoplias Mbigua”. I can’t find much information on these at all and am wondering if it’s being misidentified? These are the only photos I have so I’m not even sure if this will be successful.

Mbigua is supposed to be more red colored and have a sloping or angular head shape. Does t appear to be the right ID.
