Tang identification help

[Vladthelarge]

Hello, my LFS has this fish identified as a mimic tang, but it doesn't look anything like a juvenile or the adult form. It's a muted yellow with spots all over and I think it has a bit of blue on the end of its tail. Anyone have any ideas what it could be?

Looks frightened to me, colour washed out maybe right now.
Face looks mimic to me.
Tail looks mimic to me as well.

Ok, fair enough. How about this picture? Same thought?

This is a transitioning Acanthurus pyroferus.

Thank you all for confirming.
