What kind of wrasse is this?

I traded in a destructive crab and bought this guy. LFS said he was a female dragon wrasse but doesn't look the same from internet searches. What kind of wrasse is it?

Picture is not clear

Some kind of Leopard wrasse perhaps?

Here is a better picture.

My vote is for some sort of Leopard Wrasse as well. A better picture would help. (If using something other than your cell phone, increase the shutter speed to freeze him in place)

Just saw your latest photo - I'll stick with Leopard.

Wish I could see the tail. This is a new one I got, a White-tail Wrasse.
