Could be what's left of one. ;)

Definitely Aulonocara jacobfreibergi, although I'm not sure it's an Eureka.

Either otter point or eureka. Leaning more towards otter point because it's a little bit darker

I'm inclined to think that as well.

The safest bet is to perhaps just call it Aulonocara jacobfreibergi get anymore specific since it's not known for certain what it truly is.

Funny, I have a very similar one, maybe a little older.  I have attempted to put a picture on but I am having difficulty.  Mine has turned almost all orange down the body but it looked the same as your a few months ago.  It has become a very attractive fish and is now my dominant male in the tank.
