True Dovii?

I think it's impossible to tell from that photo at that age. Could be a dovii could be a cross. I would expect to see a more prominent lateral line stripe, but that could just be the fishes mood.
A bit of age and a few more photos could help identify more positively.

Yahh the single black spot and lack of a black stripe is what made me think it might be something different. I’ll just keep an eye out and see if that spot turns into a stripe I suppose. Thanks!
Yes I would give it more time to settle in and show its true colours. Fish are often a little washed out when first introduced.
Do you have any experience with yellow jacket cichlids? I saw a video of baby yellow jackets and think they look similar to the one I have.
Some pics for comparison. Hope there helpful.

I appreciate it. Would you say I have a Dovii? Have you seen Dovii with only that black spot and not the stripe? He has been settled in for a couple days now and still only has the spot, no signs of a stripe at all.
So I ended up going back to the LFS and swapping my little guy out with one of the more dominant Dovii that they had. Much more confident in the appearance of this one.
