A local breeder calls it a "Zebra", definatly not an Altum or False Altum, body shape doesnt seem laterally extended.
Hi, thanks for the comments. Not a altum, we just say false altum for the presence of the vertical bars like altums.
Wild-type scalare angels (silvers) have dark vertical bars as well. This is the case for all wild-type angelfish, not just altums.
The fish in the picture is not a zebra. It's a silver. Zebras have more than the four standard bars that silvers carry, hence the name zebra (referring to the numerous stripes).

It look like a pearl scale silver angel to me.
