Can you tell me what kind of fish I have?

This is my latest rescue. I'm not really sure what it is. Any ideas? He's about 6 inches TL and roughly 6 months old.

Don't worry about the eye, it was just the reflection from the flash...

He's a lot redder than the picture shows. His finnage is red and his body has a red tint to it.

you'll need to give us a better picture than that i think, before identification is possible. for me at least, it's too dark to see much.
 
Most of my pics are pretty dark, so far. Hopefully these help:

During feeding time...sorry for the mess, but you know cichlids!

I know this one is really dark, but it shows his color really well in the tail.

I'll see if I can get some better pics tonight.
 
it almost looks like a lesser quality Red terror..
 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :)
I actually posted on another board that he kind of reminded me of a red terror!

It's also funny because I had no intentions on getting a red terror, but I was researching them about two months ago. I even posted an inquiry about them here...

He was getting beat up by a sev and bp in a 38g, so I am hoping the color on him brightens up more once he's in my 75 for awhile.
 
looking at it closer..i'd put my money on it being a barred midas

Its not a red terror. Looks more like a mayan.

I say it's not a Festae because the front bars don't meet and the spot on the tail fin is not up high enough.
