I believe its a cardinal shrimp. Where did you get it? That may help to be sure.

Yeah that one would be too dark of a red for a cherry shrimp. I would probably think cardinal shrimp as well . Like ilikefish said just go to the place u got it and ask them would be the best way to find out...

I happened to get it at a local petco. It was in a tank with blue shrimp and he was the only red one so I decided to take him home. I have another picture if that will be easier to see what it is.

However I dont think it is a cardinal he dosnt have white or blueish dots on him its more of a tan or yellow stripes

Its most likely a hybrid b/w a cardinal and something else (blue, rcs, or crs shrimp types). Considering its mislabeled you never will really know... just take care of your little buddy.
