Yep, that’s a Gold Rim - in stressed colours but he’s stunning. Once settled, they go pretty much black all over their body with the bright yellow rims and yellow/orange tail.

A hybrid is possible, but most of the time, you’d know if it was due to the price tag. I have seen the orange on regular Gold Rims, also, on hybrids (even juveniles), the orange is much more like the Achilles where it goes down the tail not just as the straight line.
