Apisto contaminants with wild Rams

Dropped into my local large outlet yesterday after work as I knew they'd had in a Colombian shipment. Mixed in with wild Rams were some Apistos, obviously a macmasteri-group fish, all the males had very nice red cheeks.
Picked up a male and female (hopefully to be a pair), now they have settled in I think they are A. viejita. Anyone have any alternative suggestions as to what Apistos may be found mixed in with wild Rams?

I once found A. sp. Black-throat/Schwarzkehl ("A. viejita" color form III) among wild Rams. There are several other apistos that occur in the same general area as Rams so it's hard to say what you have.

Well, they seem happy enough with what they I am giving them, so hopefully it won't be too long before they grow a bit and show some more distinguishing characteristics.
