Looks like a Festae. What does URO mean?
 
That is a Uro-

Look at the Tail Spot!
 
Its not a Festae. Its a Uro, but it might be a Hybred of both with mostly Uro in it. Uros "false red terrors" have a full tail spot like what you have on you fish but Uros are dull brown in color which makes me think you have a Hybred of the two or a Uro with something else crossed in it. Pretty fish. If you look at some pics of Uros you will see they are a dull dirty brown color most of the time. I have seen one or two pics of some that have been light orange in color when larger but most stay a mud brown.
 
Definately a URO. Eye spot is too large for a red terror.

Here is a pic of mine.
 
Definitely could be after seeing yours. Our Petsmart doesn't carry Mayans.
 
This is my male Festae.Uro's have a larger eye spot on the tail usually going beneath the lateral line and don't have the Y bar behind the gill plate that is completely joined.Hope this helps.Seems everyone is asking about this lately.:)
