Default Anybody have a fairy wrasse like this one?

I bought one of these and was told it is a Lubbock's Fairy wrasse. However, I've never seen a Lubbock's like this one before. I have another Lubbock's that looks like this:

In fact, every other Lubbock's I've seen has looked like this second fish.

The first fish is from a Philippines shipment so just wondering if its a Philippines' variant of the Lubbock's? I know there are quite a few wrasse-lovers on here so I'm hoping someone has one as well or has seen one and knows if it is known by another name.

I've had the fish for a couple of weeks now and it was very shy at first, but now it seems to have come to a truce with with my Blue Flasher and pair of Leopards in the tank. I like to know for certain (if possible) what fish I have so just thought I'd pose this question and see if my fellow Canreefers can help give me a positive ID on it.

Thanks in advance.
