Might be a runt? Guessing a bit, hard to tell.

What is this fish called? Barb, female swordtail? Of late it keeps hiding under a rock in the aquarium. Other residents are 2 Koi, 2 bristle mouth catfish, 2 Chinese algae eaters (on their way out... becoming territorial) & 1 glass fish.

Looks like a Molly to me. Also, you have koi in your tank? Are they wintering or permanent residents?

No, the Koi won't be permanent considering the size they get too. Thanks for clearing the name for me.

Looks more like a Mickey Mouse platy to me than a molly in the last picture.

The fins looked molly-ish to me, but I wasn't 100% sure, could be a platy.

I have to agree with a Platy more than a Molly. It as the coloration of the old "Sunset Platy" but there have been so many mixed breeds since then that I couldn't identify exactly which type.

Because the pic is not really clear, it appears that the 2 fish in the pic are a Gold Gourami and a Honey Gourami. The shape of the smaller one rules it out as a Gold/ Blue/ Opaline/ Dwarf, Giant, Pearl, etc but not the Honey. Since a Honey is a small fish to begin with, this may just be a small/ juvenile one.
Hope this helps
