I went to Petsmart and a friend working there said I should look at the blood parrot shipment that came in. There were two that were different, I picked up the better of them and brought it home Monday and took photos today after it settled in. The mouth does close fully, but it tends to leave it cracked open slightly, the forehead is a smooth slope, and the eyes are large. When I picked it up it had a small black spot on the forehead and tail but they have almost completely faded now. It has blue flecks in the fins, and is peach colored with pink, and more pink has come up this past week after it settled. Just trying to get some ideas what it may be, I was thinking poor quality KKP, but the blue in the fins threw me.

I have notice that some BP from walmart looks like excatly to your fish. Most of them dont have any notch on the head, almost like a red devil.
 
Yours do look a lot like this one. I haven't seen many of them with this type of forehead, I'm used to seeing the regular BP forehead with the big crease in it - like what my big BP has.

All the Walmarts around here seem to get are black or brown dull colored BPs. Rarely do they even fade.

These are 3 Parrots I got from Walmart a few months back that I am assuming come from the same breeding farm. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=374497&highlight=walmart+parrot
