Can anyone tell me the difference?

I saw some 3-4" Midas that were orange mixed with some white in Petsmart.

Are those Midas or Red Devil?
 
The ones that I purchase from PetSmart had one looking like a Midas and the other a Red Devil (both were most likely a mix). It's very tough to tell the difference between these two fish, but this is what mine looks like after 6 months
 
There are two species that are referred to as "Red Devil"- C. citrinellum and C. labiatum. The citrinellum are more commonly called Midas cichlids and are usually what you find in shops.
