Unless coming from a reputable source, it is hard to say if it is definitively a midas or a devil. With that said, it looks to have more midas characteristics. I bought a petsmart midas that looks much like yours that I just refer to as a midas because midas/rd does not roll of the tongue as well. You need to vent it to get an answer to whether it's a male or female. All that said, I really like the looks of it! I especially love its shape!
it's virtually impossible to differeniate between captive red devil and midas without a closeup/above shot of the mouth/lip area. unfortunately a lot of red devils and midas in the hobby today are a result of accidental crossbreeding along the line.
He sounds like a reputable source. Your fish has the midas attributes of the tall/thick body and a short mouth. But, something is screaming red devil though, possibly the lips.
