ID?

So I recently got several african cichlids from a local breeder and this is one of them (pic might be a little blurry). It's about 2" now. He/she was blue with vertical bars at first (which is the color of the smaller ones -- this one is the biggest one) but after several days changed into a more yellowish hue and is getting yellower it seems. Was told they were zebras. In a tank with other zebras and peacocks, all juvies basically. Doesn't show much aggression really. Any ideas to what species exactly this one is? Male or female?

Maylandia lombardoi maybe?

I was hoping it was not? Since I heard they can get pretty aggressive...

kenyii?

Not a kenyi as kenyi only have 5 bars. This fish has multiple bars. Wouldn't be surprised if it's a kenyi hybrid though (male).

I've been researching for a while and I was thinking maybe Pseudotropheus elongatus? They do seem to have a relatively longer body that fits the description. Submissive males and females do turn yellow apparently. This site seems to detail them a bit more: http://www.africancichlids.net/articles/pseudotropheus_elongatus_ornatus/

It has the shape of a Pseudotropheus cyaneus sometimes they can be a washedout yellow colour.
