Wrasse id

So this little fellow has been in my lfs for almost 3 months now and no one is buying it.
One because it’s not the most colorful and two because no one can really tell what species of wrasse it is.

Possibly Halichoeres bivitattus, Id say the common name but I only know of one and people who know this scientific name will probably know which common name I know it as.
Here’s a juvenile

Its definitely between this and a Coris pictoides. The only thing is how wrasses can’t fade to my knowledge unless they’re male and there are no females in the tank.
