Livingstonii looks like the mouth ends are more down-turned I think ! ? And their color pattern's a bit different too.
It is difficult to tell when stressed in a bag, does it have dots all over it now that it is no longer stressed in the bag? If so it is a Nimbochromis polystigma. If it is not got a lot of dots on it then I would say it is Nimbochromis fuscotaeniatus. The coloration of the pattern is not right for a venustus. They are more of green camo. Livingstonii as pictured above is more silver. The two I listed above get more of brown to them like yours. It is for a fact Nimbochromis.
The fish haves the same coloration and spots As in the bag. It was also the same when it was at the location I got it at.
Yah, that's what others say and that is what I think aswell. But if you guys want to argue about it go ahead!
Brown spots go long ways on the livingstoni.. look again.. otherwise they do look alikesmokeythebair;4963353; said:

Also the head of yours is much much more curved then mine. I guess I just have a mistury fish!
