I was going to say the same thing. I have some wild type Neocaridina denticulata and some of them look exactly like the picture in the first post. Therefore I would conclude that it's most likely a Neocaridina denticulata since it came in with other cherry shrimp. I wouldn't expect a rare shrimp to come in with farm bred shrimp like the cherry reds. Most likely just a mutation that caused the animal to revert to wild coloration.
