What kind of fish? Dealer said S. American Dwarf Cichlid

I apologize for the rather poor picture, it is hard holding the camera steady. Can I have some help identify this fish? The [acronym:a0e189de93="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:a0e189de93] said that it was a S. American Dwarf Cichlid of some time. Another guy said it was a juvenile African Cichlid. It'd be nice to know for sure so I can decide whether my [acronym:a0e189de93="power head or Measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions, depending on context"]PH[/acronym:a0e189de93], at 8.0 need adjusting.

Its hard to tell since it isn't a full body shot, but it appears to be a Kenyi (African Cichlid from Lake Malawi). I would need a better pic to be 100% certain since there are a few species that look similar to the Kenyi. But that's what my money would be on.
