Is this a Thalassoma Lutescens?

A LFS near me is selling this guys as Thalassoma Lutescens but i think it might be a yellow coris (the one im looking to get). So my question is if there is a way i can identify one from another and be sure im getting the one i want?
yellow coris would be a great addition to the tank a banana not so much.

Yellow halichoeres wrasse. Pretty hardy and a good addition to most tanks.

Yes. That is H. chrysus the yellow “coris”. Thalassoma juvenile only has one black dot on the dorsal I believe. @i cant think

Juvenile Thalassoma lutescens are completely different to the adults in general. This is a juvenile lutescens;

The body shape is drastically different when they mature as well in comparison to Halichoeres chrysus.
