looks like a small vieja, to me it looks like a little fenestrata or zonatus, but only time will tell
It could easily be hartwegi, bifasciatta, melanurus, fenestrata, zonatum, or any of that clade at this point.
There are 8 valid recognized species in Vieja at this point, before the genus was broken up, there were about a dozen more considered Vieja.
Here's a young bifasciatus, just little older.
Even young Chuco intermedia, because they don't develop distinctive traits until later
above Chuco, below a little older
