That would be my guess since young Uaru fernandezyepezi are starting to show posterior dark markings by that size.

It's amphiacanthoides. This is a typical juvenile color pattern. Young amphiacanthoides are mostly brown with the light marbling pattern, while juvenile fernandezyepezi are mostly grey with cream colored spots.
