I agree. It's also stunted. The other one in the picture is a Blue Diamond.

The second picture is of a pigeon blood, and the bottom picture is of a albino.

Dead give away is the football shaped body, and eyes that are larger than they should be for the size of the fish. Stunting is a result of a fish that has been kept an extended period of time in poor conditions, and or poor diet. Not much you can do about it once they are stunted. The fish can live a normal life, although it may be shortened somewhat. The main thing is the fish won't grow very much more at all, although if kept in good conditions, it's colors can improve, and function normally.
