Help with species ID

I need help with an ID. Obviously not the Agassizii they were sold as. I have juveniles in this community tank, so this is not a female. The other two are smaller and have markings that are less bold.

I know the picture is weak, but this fish doesn't spend much time in the open. He's in a 150 high with lots of hiding spaces. I just noticed juveniles maybe 15mm long the other day. I'll try to get a better shot at feeding time. Thanks for taking a stab at the ID.

It is hard to say from this photo. It is a species belonging to the regani-lineage, but that narrows it down to 100+ species. From what I see it appears to belong in the resticulosa-complex, possibly A. sp. Wangenflecken???
Mike, do you have any pictures of your Wangenflecken up on the site? I'd love to see them.

Wangenflecken can show variable marking on the face, from streaks to just tiny spots, so this isn't really diagnostic. Specimens from the same spawn can show this variability. This is one of my males from long ago:

Hi I didn’t know if you still have any of the Apistogramma Cuipeua?
Would be interested if so.
