It looks mota to me. It's definitely not a convict though. If it is a mota that is one lucky find. Mota at convict price.
If you zoom in on the first 4 pictures I shared, you can see small red spots and larger black blotches on the gill plate. In the picture attached to this post, both male and female show this but separately. Mayeb we have a baby monta?Maybe the blue is something it will outgrow?
I think bobtastic has a nice little colorful male motaguense....give me the directions to that Petco......
here is my male ...Bobtastics has a lot of color for a small size ,mine has gone through many color and pattern changes in the two and a half years I have had him....from my experience as my male matured his spots and pattern intensified but are not as colorful as when he was small....

Honestly Petco seem to be known for selling mislabeled fish. I went there one time to purchase a electric blue jack that i ordered "This is when I first started my tank" And me not knowing got just a regular jack dempsy. Then there was another time I went there to get a convict and the sales person tried to bag me a green terror. "He couldn't tell the difference 
"
None the less looks like the mistake is in your favor!

That's funny, I went to petco one time and they had EBJD's labeled as regular Jack Dempseys. I paid $9 for 3 EBJDs
