Possible match here on the site, yours isn't as dark though...

It could also be a Kenyi.

I cant find a good enougth match to be sure either. Thats why im thinking maybe a hybrid ??? I already have two female kenyi's and he/she does look simular but different colour, more like purple than blue, and he/she got an orange & white stripe on dorsal fin (i think its called), so maybe half kenyi, half somthing else ? dunno ???

im thinking a female Cynotilapia Afra 'white Top'

if you look at my first pic here you will see there similar. (i took the pics the day i bought them so there were slightly faded but now after being setteld in the strips have became abit darker. it also has the thin line of yellow on top

I'm thinking it's a female Cynotilapia afra (Cobue), under the picture in the link is a drop-down menu, if you select young female you'll see the similarities to yours.
