Is this an Amano Shrimp?

Hi, I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me identify this shrimp. :confused: It was sold to me as a Red Cherry Shrimp (actually got 2 in a lot of six RCS's), but it is neither red nor is it as small as the RCS's. It's currently well over an inch long and the colourings are similar enough to an amano? cheers!
