Micropoecilia sp. or Poecilia wingei?

Got some of this fishes recently from a friend. It has a very striking color, but i have no idea what species is this. Most probably a variant of something.. it is code-named Scarlet on the bag, but no other information. Have a look, and for those who knows.. pls do let me know. Thanks!

It looks like the orange has derived from "P. reticulata var. Orangeline", not realy a P. wingei... but mouth looks different than a guppy (Acanthophacelus), maybe it's a Micropoecilia species... maybe even a local pond variation of (one of the in past used mosquito fish) - "Poecilia (Micropoecilia) endleri" .. its possible because p. wingei, p. reticulata and even micro species where in past seen as the same! ... or maybe it's another variation on Micro's or even a Hybrid?? who nows..

I can't tell from here..
