Please, ID this fish

The coloring appears to be that of a flowerhorn, but the lack of a giant hump oni ts head at 12inches makes me think otherwise. Perhaps it is a hybrid with somethign else? A Jack Dempsey or something similar?
Either way, its most likely got a very nasty disposition, and would prolly scare the hell out of your smaller fish, if it doesnt eat them. It would be a risky move for sure.

Thank you, guys.
I thought it was a flowerhorn also, but the color is just so bad without any marking, and no hump so it could have been a SA of some kind.
The guy just put the fish in a bag and placed it in my 90 gallon tank when I was at work. The size looks so scary compare to my other fish.
I probably am gonna bring it to a LFS.

Yeah Low Grade Flowerhorn that or a stressed flowerhorn who wasnt fed enough to get a hump but low grade is more likely.
Thank you all. He's doing a lot better today. He ate a whole shrimp for lunch.
Showing a little bit of color here. I don't know what to do with him, but probably got to buy a new tank for him. In the mean time he stays in a 20 gallon quarantine tank fully equipped.
I have everything needed for a new setup without the tank.
Any suggestion for the size?
Is 40 gallon big enough for him?
Thanks for all your inputs.

Not possitive on a flowerhorns full adult length im guessing bout 12-14" I may be off though which would mean it needs a 75gal+ with bigger always being better.
