Looks like a damasoni?
Edit: def not damasoni. Could be a female Kenyi!

He’s just coloured up in the past 24hrs. Seems to dislike my johannI male who is similar colours.

I agree with Rev Looks like a Cynotilapia Afra, but not "Black". I believe its an Afra Purple Lupingu.
Here's a pic of mine.

Looks more Metriaclima than Cynotilapia to me. If he was purchased without a name ID (i.e., "Mixed" Mbuna) he is most likely a hybrid of some sort, and they can look very much like any of the dozens of undescribed/unidentified populations running around in both these genera.
