Is this a vieja syn?

[Ominae]

Nope. Not a syn.

My first question would be is how large is this fish? If its still quite juvi it could still be changing. I think it looks like a blackbelt aka vieja maculacada. But very young. I've got 2 blackbelts one about 3.5 to 4 inches the other only about 2 to 3 inches. The smaller one looks like that sometimes depending on its mood. Its starting to make the changes to what it should look like. It could very well be a full on bb. It might be a hybrid. Either way I think your going to end up with a beautiful fish.

I'm going to say it's 3-4 inches from head to end of tail. Closer to 3. Might go back and get a syn... Anyone check the link above and can confirm if it's a syn?

Doesn't look like a syn to me either.

What it is (with certainty)? Who knows...

But it will grow to 12+"!

it looks like a blackbelt x Syn.

Looks like a juki BB but could be a BBxsyn like mentioned before. I'd guess BB though

Problem with a juvi fish is you won't really know more what it is or resembles til it matures.
