Juvie red empress?

Obviously young but looks more like Protomelas Taeniolatu, tangerine tiger.
That’s actually what I initially thought, but I noticed some slight red on the top of the head, but it could’ve been the lighting
It doesn't look like the "standard" red P. taeniolatus you find in a lot of lfs. I would expect to see the second horizontal line while the vertical lines are so visible.
But there are over 40 different catch locations of P. taeniolatus which show slight difference in the pattern of black stripes.
They can also be really hard to distinguish from P. fenestratus.

Here's a pic for comparison of a juvenile male Red Empress I once kept.
