cichlid ID please

I recently got this tank and cichlid from my buddy. He didn't know what kind of cichlid it was. I'm assuming he bought it from one of those "assorted cichlid" tanks. He or she is about 3 years old and about 6 inches long. Any help or opinions are appreciated.

I think I found it on cichlid-forum
psuedotropheus crabro (bumble bee cichlid)

if you go to the second picture "large male" it's a dead ringer

I think its safe to say you have a male Bumble Bee Cichlid. They can be pretty aggressive so I'd watch what tankmates you put with him.
