please help ID hybrid

[Mark Pogarasteanu]

Hello, new user here (well, I've been here for a while, but haven't posted much so far).

Please help me ID this hybrid. I picked it up at a LFS (for about 3 $), and I was told it is female (looks female) and a flowerhorn/midevil hybrid....possibly. ) This is all the info I have. Oh, and it's 6 inches long (measured it) and eats like a champ.

Could you please shed some light on the subject? Thanks

I've been reading (and googling) a little, and I have to wonder: could she be a fader? You can't see it in the picture, but she has some light blue scales on her, especially around the tail. The guy at the LFS had no real idea about her lineage, he just THOUGHT her to be a FH/midevil. Also, when at the fish store, she had much much longer dorsal and anal fins (they should grow back soon). So, any thoughts?
P.S.: As an update, her colors are really improving, being well fed, and she started redecorating the tank and attacking the algae scraper. The seller told me she beat up an adult male Jack Dempsey and an 8-10 inch jag )

seems to be a flowerhorn fader. red monkey?

The pearly bit round the head says to me that it's more likely to be some kind of FH than a midevil.
