Looks like sub-dominant male Halichoeres ortnatissimus Ornate Wrasse. In other words still holding some female coloration. Keep in mind also, that Wrasses vary in coloration and they don't all look exactly the same.

Yeah you might be right about the ornate wrasse, colors really can change, especially in wild caught fish.
