Clownfish ID?

Here's my a shot (w/ flash, silly things won't hold still) of my latest acquisitions.

I suspect that they are some sort of A. polymnus, but I wouldn't stake a wager on it. Anyone else have a clue?

Polymnus would be my guess ... just curious, how come the uncertainty?

I've never seen saddlebacks with the yellow bellies on them before. Anyway, I was doing a lot of browsing on RC and found that they are indeed a regional variant of A. polymnus. Yellow and black was the name I found attached to them.

Definatly Saddleback. Looks at the middle bar see how it curves backward at the top. THis is a main indicator that they are infact saddles. I have never seen them with the yellow either.

My local Fish store gets in some black perc (so called) I looked at a number of books and found a pic that almost is perfect but they are a variant of a saddleback. It's like African Cichlids, fish that come from different areas of the same lake can look very different even though they are the same species.
