Female Id

[merlin]

I got this fish in amongst female sp oregon. It was young and it was hoped to be a male. As can be seen, today it decided to declare itself as a female but what species. I know its not the best time to id but any opinion would be received. Mike Wise if you see this what do you think.i

This fish is in a tank with 2 female oregon. So not sure why it has gone into brood dress.

The photos are too poor for a positive identification. Why do you think it isn't A. sp. Oregon??

The black blotches are completly different from the 2 female oregon in the same tank.

How strange. From what I can see the dark markings are the same as seen on my dominant female A. sp. Oregon - which I personally collected at this species' known collecting locality.
