Is my fish a Loisellei?

[Ang]

Is this guy Parachromis Loisellei. I'm pretty sure he is, but i want as many opinions as possible. He's about 4".
The white spot on his side is usually black, he just turns it white when i take his picture. So thats actually another black splotch.
He has a blue sheen on and around his dorsal fin. The rest of him is tan and yellow. He has extensions on his dorsal and anal fin as well. (small ones)

Those sure do look alot like Motaguense's, but you can tell the difference..

Would be a great fish to do a species profile on..

I always try to ID these 'look-alike' fish for my LFS, but no matter how correct I am, a fish like this would end up with the name 'Jaguar Cichlid' on the glass..
