Don't know what you have there, but I've had a lot of them, and for me rotkeils typically reach 5-6 inches in a year, max out about 8-9 inches, getting close to max by year two. They can vary in how much red ime, but by 2-2.5 inches I would certainly see red in their pelvic and anal fins, and red starting to show up on their head/shoulder around 3-4 inches.
Water looks great, I assume your parameters are reasonable, only other thing is what are you feeding? Otherwise, it doesn't look much like a rotkeil to me for its age or size. Suppose it's possible it's an odd individual, which I didn't see with mine, but it can happen in some species. Also possible it's just faded for some reason. Otherwise, could be hybrid as already mentioned.
But the more I reflect on it, I keep coming back to either what are you feeding or what else is in the tank as possible reasons it could be faded out-- as worth considering before being dogmatic on what it is or isn't.
