It’s tough to ID females in the cyanopleura complex, but it does look like C. Chaliasi.

I'm just going to throw this out for consideration, the overall color tone of the pictures tends to be very purple and was thinking the fish might not be the color it appears. Could this be a Austrolabrus maculatus? Or Cirrhilabrus adornatus?

It looks identical to mine and mine ended up being a Transitional male Cirrhilabrus Lubbock (Philippines variant).

Which is what we used to call the ruby head C. cf cyanopluera? Am I understanding that right?
