Question Marjorie's wrasse, is it or isn't it????

I got a cute little pink fairy wrasse a little while ago and I wasn't sure what type of wrasse it is. Doug told me it was a fairy wrasse and a lfs thought it was a pink sided fairy wrasse, however after googleing images I believe it is a female marjorie's wrasse aka Cirrhilabrus Marjorie from which I understand after doing a lot of reading are very rare. Anyone know if that is what mine is or not?

Pic's of mine: Mine is a pinky/red colour with white on it's belly and a very distinct black dot by it's tail.
(this pic sucks but the colour shows up fairly right)


(this pic is better but the colour is off)

If it is a marjorie's wrasse I got a heck of a deal on it
