Chocolate cichlid?

When I brought my old female home, she looked light like that for a few days. Probably just stressed.

Also what color is your substrate? When I swapped mine from white to black, she darkened up a LOT.
 
My 4 chocolates are on white sand and are pretty dark, the substrate doesn't seem to effect their colour like it does with other fish.

Doesn't look like my chocolate at all.
 
Well, it's been nearly a month, but I figured I'd update the thread to let everyone know that he's definitely H. temporalis. All it took was adding another cichlid, in this case my H. severus, and he darkened right up.
