Rose Island or Fine-scale Dottyback ID

I posted this in the general forum but didn't have any luck, so I figured I'd see if you guys could help.

I recently purchased what I thought was a Rose Island Dottyback (Pseudoplesiops rosae), but after a few weeks of it being in my tank, I'm starting to think it's a different species. The fish has a pinkish red body with a yellow tail fin, which leads me to think it's actually a Fine-scaled Dottyback (Lubbockichthys multisquamatus).

Here is my dottyback:

Any ideas?
 
Both the fine scale and rose island come in from shipments direct from Cebu. But they are only listed as rose island dottybacks from the collecter.
