Apistogramma erythrura or not ?

[FIL]

Hello,
This fish is sold under the name Apistogramma sp. 'Mamore'. I know it has been described as Apistogramma Erythrura.
I have a doubt about the identity of this fish. I see that it belongs to the group trifasciata because the lateral band is broad in the caudal peduncle, but narrows toward the head but I can not identify it as the Erythrura.

What do you think?

The extremely broad lateral band - especially toward the posterior is diagnostic over for A. erythrura. This species rarely shows the 3rd diagonal band seen on A. trifasciata. This led many authors to claim A. erythrura was the same as A. trifasciata maciliensis - which it is not. Your fish appear to be A. erythrura.

Thank you Mike.
