is this a genuine festae?

Agreed. The circle on the tail should only be on the top half. In the pic its on the entire tail. Also the first bar after the gills should form a Y or 4 shape. These are the best ways to tell. The Mayan's bars never intersect.
 
mayan cichlid but i can see how it could throw you off because it does look as if it has the y bar on the front like festae and usually at that size mayans are still grey with not much color. i would hold on to that mayan i think it will come out very nice.
