Jawfish ID Please

It's a variegated jawfish. Many books have this exact color form listed and shown as a variegated jaw. As mentioned jawfish will change color in breeding, but this is not a common jawfish in a breeding color change state.

Would love to get one of these, have looked for years with absolutely not even a sniff or rumor of one....
 
thanks - yep I took that shot.

I believe it to be a Variagated although it has also been suggested that it is an undescribed species from the Bali area.

I don't think anyone is going to be able to be 100% sure.
