Yes, it looks like the same color form of A. sp. Rotpunkt.

Yes, your "macmasteri" female is definitely a Rotpunkt female. Note that she does not
have any ventral stripe or patch. All macmasteri-group females show some black
pigmentation somewhere between the anus and the chin. Some rare female Rotpunkt
females will show this, too, like the one you mention in aqualog. She can easily be
separated from macmasteri-group females by the irregular shape of her caudal peduncal
spot.
