Is this a Mayan? 12" beast!

Bought this as a vieja hybrid today, I believe it's a Mayan but want someone else's opinion.
Looks festae or Mayan shaped, I'm not sure it has any vieja , definitely not festae, so that leaves me at Mayan which I know can be variable...?

It looks like it does have vieja in it I would so hybrid for sure

Looks like a hybrid to me. It's hard to say what it is though.

Agreed definitely not a Mayan, or at least not pure Mayan. I agree with Alexxxxsv14 I see alot of veija there.

Agree it's a mix

Feel the need to post this pic of a big Mayan for comparison...

Truth is it was a trade in and I believe they have no idea what it is...

I'd say its a synspilum hybrid with an amphilophus. Definitely see synspilum in it though

Is it fading ? Or is that just stress marks

Went in a few hours before the pics so probably stressed.
What does Zoodiver think and duanes ...
