It's hard to tell from the pictures, but it looks like it has 6 or 7 dorsal finlets, which is perhaps the definitive way to tell that it's a Polli. Its markings are very pronounced and extends all the way up to the head, which is unusual in captive bred broods. Similar type deal as in Delhezi patterns. I'd say you lucked out big time, that really is a beautiful specimen.
I was able to do a finlet count there is 5 so definitely a polli which is ok since my other polli is my favorite because of personality
100% WC polli. Great looking specimen. The markings with the vertical lines resembles a retropinnis. Cute tricky polypterid. Those 2 species are the closest when young. Retro has less finlets and it starts closer to the second half of the body towards the tail.

according to the sticky the polli has 5-7 finlets and the retro has 7-9 finlets
