New Sev. Rotkeil?

Apendiculatus? Perhaps just efaciatus. It has the apparent half bars of appen for sure, but the color behind the throat leaves me guessing. Either way, nice severum.
Cichlid room companion lists it as valid, I have no idea otherwise.

So, thought I'd post some updated pics. She looks about the same to me. Getting a little more color around the head. What do you think?
It's what you'd consider rotkeil even though it had one too many bars. It could be a hybrid or a misbarred fish. It's also a male based on the pattern in the face.
Here's mine bought wild caught from the Wet Spot as a Red Shoulder

Yeah the speckling in the face is just really starting to show. Always thought it was female before due to the lack of facial marking but looks like it may be a male.
Hate to bring up a dead thread but in MA, we see orange shouldered severums sold as rotkeils all the time. They grow up to look nothing like rotkeils, no idea what they are for sure. Most likley a tank line bred hybrid
