Flame wrasse?

Wrasse aficionado
Ive got a fairy wrasse that was sold to me as a female flame. But ever since introducing it into my tank my super male has payed it no attention. Im starting to wonder if this is a sub male or female that is starting to turn.

I took the pictures with flash and it really brought out the yellow in the belly of this wrasse. The yellow is barely visible under normal lighting.
What do you wrasse experts think? Female or not?

not a flame female. looks like a balteatus female... hmmmm.
Thanks for the info
I searched balteatus and came across Cirrhilabrus tonozukai, which the female looks exactly like mine. Im going to have to get better pictures now.
Thanks
Eric
