Identify fish in banner ad?

What is the trigger in MicrocosmAquariumExplorer.com's banner ad? Not sure what is, definitely some type of Xanthichthys, but I don't think a Blue Throat because of the blue in the caudal and anal fin. Or could it just be a really big blue throat with full coloration?

Bluethroat probably taken under actinics or possibly edited a little enhance the color. It is an advertising banner after all.
 
Yep, it appears it's just a blue jaw (btw danorth, I would actually prefer Gilded trigger, but no one would know what I'm talking about ;)). I was just thrown by the colors, never have seen a bj with blue coloration in the anal fins.
 
Hey I know that name too. The blue throat pic I posted is pretty cool though, never really see those for sale.

Triggers have a bunch of different names, but with this one, blue throat is a different fish all together, and figured I'd share a pic of one. I bet someone hasn't seen one before.
