More than likely H. melanurus but with so much flash it is difficult to tell... generally havens do not have as thick of striping on the head.
 
Hoeven's is a common name for melanurus fwiw... Looks like it to me. Can you get a full body pic?
 
Hoevens wrasse common name I associate with H. hoeveni because it makes sense... but that is why common names are worthless.
 
Melanurus is correct.

FWIW, hoeveni is a moniker for melanurus; they are no longer classified differently.
