What kind of cichlid is this?

Looks to me like he's got some salvini mixed in -- quite a bruiser! :)
 
Yours is a lot more red, which I personally think it is a good thing...its unique. But I def think it is some kind of synspilum... It has the same black marking going down the tail. As it matures, it might change... Regardless cool looking fish

yea and the syns. are known to have all sorts of different colors on them and in some of those pics you can def see that. Your fish also have the same body structure. I dont know if you seem them mature but this is what they look like... Not my pic
If yours keeps that color, you will def have a nice fish on your hands... :)
