Can someone ID this cichlid for me?

[C98Hall]

I am interested if someone can positively ID this cichlid for me. The LFS had a couple but I want to make sure I know what I am bringing home. Thanks!

Sorry for the horrible pictures, I took them with my cell phone.

Female Peacock, probably an Aulonocara sps, but I can't be sure which one.

Actually, it's an immature male. Females don't have eggspots on their anal fin. Probably an Auloncara, possibly a Haplochromis.

Eggspots are not a reliable means of sexing Africans, but an immature male is a possibility. Only way to be sure is to vent it.

Color/pattern in the dorsal fin also indicates a male.

Not really, I've had tons of peacock juvies that all had that coloration, some were female.

Here are some of mine, both were females:

Just as an example, here's a female german red:
