Julidochromis transcriptus??

[gwand]

I was in a fish store and this fish was labeled as Julidochromis. The hired help couldn’t tell me the species. I think it is Julidochromis transcriptus. What do you think?

I'm being chicken about a definite answer. It's been 25 years since I dabbled in Tanganyikans. I'd say it narrows down to transcriptus or marlieri, but I'm also not sure how accurate the labels are on online images.
The eye mask suggests transcriptus. The site below is a reliable scientific one.
