I got a mystery cichlid in my checkboard cichlid order, maybe an apisto?

Hello folks!

Just joined this lovely forum today, but I've fallen in love with apistos over the past two years so I'm sure I'll be enjoying all the forum has to offer as I set up my new 75g tank.

I placed a special order at my LFS for some checkerboard cichlids and didn't check the bag until I got home. I discovered this handsome little guy mixed in with my checkerboards. I think he's some sort of apistogramma, and was hoping you folks might have an idea.

Thank you all for your help!

This seems to be a young Apistogramma minima. They are very often found (and collected) together with Dicrossus filamentosus.
