Nope. That's a Mayan. The spot on the caudal peduncle is too long for a true festae. And you're in the wrong forum for an ID.

yep...ex C. Uropthalumus

 

[Gruff Master]

Mayan..Uro...Red Terror, just like everyone else said. Nice cichlids in their own right but they are not Festae. Sorry. Don't feel too bad about it. Check the search function to see the many people that have purchased these in their hunt for Festae. I was one of them until I finally got what I was actually looking for.

Mayans are not a bad fish... indeed, they are STUNNING when they spawn. They turn a wonderful bronze color. I was shocked the first time my did this.

They're not what he ordered and paid for though. That's the point, it was supposed to be Festae...

To the OP, where did you get them from?
