Viejita or Macmasteri?

Hi all. These fish were labeled as A. viejita 'Red Neck'. I have been told and have read that they are most likely to be A. macmasteri. They may be too young to tell for sure but any opinions are welcome.

The fish in pic 1 is around 35mm TL and the other is -30mm TL.

I hope Mike posts on this but as he is far more reliable than me but for me they are 2 young male macmasteri.

But I am only 75% sure about the ID and 50% sure about the sex :wink:

I really do hope I am wrong about both though.

I thought two males too. I got two more today that were the most feminine of the four at the LFS but too young to be sure yet.
