LFS says these are three-spotted gourami - Are they really pearl gourami?

I saw some gourami at a nearby LFS labelled as "Trichogaster trichopterus diamond". Here's a photo I took of the tank in the store:

"Trichogaster trichopterus" is apparently a three-spotted gourami, but I can't find any morphs of them that look like the ones online. Looking online, I can find only one source referring to "Trichogaster trichopterus diamond", and the photo on that page looks a lot like what I saw in the store.


I'm fairly confident the store (and the above website) has mislabelled them. This is the second time a nearby LFS has mislabelled their gourami - in another thread, I posted a photo of what the store had labelled as red honey gourami, but another member of this forum identified them as thick-lipped gourami. The fish in the photo above look much more like pearl gourami to me; however, every photo of pearl gourami I can find online have some red on them, whereas these don't. Are these three-spotted gourami, pearl gourami, or some other species?

Thanks everyone for the quick replies!

I just read the profile page for pearl gourami in this site - I guess these must all be females since none of them have any red on them.

 

owww yeah you guys are correct.
I want all the former names back hahaha.
Getting too old for this hahaha

They could be young fish, which won’t show much if any colour. Stress is also a factor.

They probably were stressed since they only had the one plant for cover, and they were all hiding at the back of the tank when I saw them.

The one on the far left looks to have an orange throat.
