What cichlid is this?

I just got this fish from my local pet store and they said it was a flag cichlid? but when I went to another shop they hade flag cichlids there and they didn't look anything like this one?
So what is it?

Mesonauta festivus . Its a festivum or also know as a flag cichlid or barred cichlid . Pretty peaceful fish . Will eat plants though from what i've read on them .

Def. a festivum, very nice fish, and they are very peaceful. I used to have several of these little guys.
