ID help, what type of geo?

[FreshwaterHawaii]

I purchased these as red head tapajos. They are approx. 2.5 inches.

Look like red heads, maybe stressed maybe just because of black substrate but they are very dark. Just get them?

They look like orange heads, which are one of the few cichlids I don't think looks better over black sand.

Yeah, IMO black substrate and a black background are too much for some SAs, namely certain geos and discus. It will cause them to go dark. Orange heads look better over lighter substrate with a dark background.
