Yes, but I can't tell you if it is the genuine one or a subspecies. Apparently S.petricola and S.polli have a number of varieties (e.g. S. polli white Zambia).
However, there are lots of people overhere who should be able to tell you that.

the leading white edge to the dorsal fin gives it away as S.Petricola. It isn't the best photo going but looks like the commonly available S. Petrocola "dwarf".
