We have another option that is the Acanthurus pyroferus.
The difference between them is that A. pyroferus has a short nose lihe the real Yellow tang, and A. olivaceus has a round nose as the Paracanthurus hepatus.
It's very easy to see the differences.

I would be it is a Chocolate tang (lemon peel, mimic etc.). They are very bright yellow as juveniles and as adults their head is brown and they have small blue markings.
Heres a link...
