Possibly an Indigo Hamlet, Hypoplectrus indigo,
as portrayed in tiles on the walls of the NYC uptown subway stop (A-B-C)
at 81st and Central Park West. (ISO, no zoom, no flash).

This looks like an indigo hamlet. The general pattern and color is the same. The exact shading and patterns varies from individual to individual.

In this mural in the station the species of fish seem to be stylized somewhat and are not as accurate as the other mosaics.
