Wal-Mart Tang (ID please)

I got these cool stickers at walmart that you stick on a mirror or on tile and they are little pictures of reef fish. one of them, I just noticed after having them for a year, is a fish I cant identify (imagine that). it looks like a tang, but Ive never seen one like it before. anyone know? maybe a juvenile coloring? enlighten me.

They really aren't that bad, the key is to get one that is healthy in the first place.
