Well, lacerdae have a much more random blotch pattern and your fish seems to have the dark blotches in the same location as a malabaricus. Lacerdae and aimara's tails are much thicker and taller than malas. Their tails are much more parallel after the slope of their back, where as Mala's tail taper's down more from their back (it's narrower at the base of the tail than it is closer to the back). Then there's the jaw structure that needs to be taken into consideration. That's the easiest way to ID malas from the other species. If you can get a pic up from under it's chin, I can tell you for sure. If you search back through my threads, you can find pics of my old tapajos lacerdae and compare their pattern.

I'll try and get some new photos, it has that striped pattern with or with out the combination of the diagonal bars to form that herring bone pattern only during the day. In the evening (with the lights on) it looks exactly like the lacerdae SLANTED is trying to sell right now. The dentaries are parallel and non-convergent.........

It's true that lacerdae's sometimes have the dark band, but it's nt as prominent as it is in other wolf species. Here are a few pics of my old lac when it was smaller. This is what I was talking about as far as their pattern goes. It's random blotches, not a herring bone pattern like malas. And slanted's photos don't show the lac pattern very well, because wolves get darker as they get more mature and the pattern becomes not as noticeable.
