Picked up this fish this afternoon from a friend of mine. Can anyone ID 100%?

Similar to a Rivulatus, different scale patterns and body/fin shape. Similar bearding, body has a pinkish hue towards the tail.

I took 4 of my large GT fry to the pet store, Its currently in my 75 growout tank with a few 2-3" GT growouts and my Danio group, there is also a handful of very small gt fry. Getting along just fine, just checkin out the new digs.

Came from a 150 gallon bowfront stocked with 2 jags, 1 vieja, 2 texas, 1 JD, 3 flowerhorns, 2 midevils, a pleco, man that tank was full.....

I brought this up a couple months ago in another thread, here is a picture where it is more colored up. Its roughly the same size as my adult female GT, about 6"

We narrowed it down to A. Orinoco......and I'm pretty sure its a female.

But not 100%
