I have had these for awhile and still cannot find a reference to what they really are. They came from a batch of feeder guppies and I kept them originally thinking they were older, healthier, larger, female guppies with huge gravid spots. Well, as they grew, turns out they are NOT guppies but still resemble guppies. What I took for a gravid spot in the smaller fish is actually on the body rather than at the back of the fish and is half clear and half black. These fish are about twice the size of a large female guppy and the largest is close to the size of a medium to large molly. There appears to be spots or irridence that the light catches.
Even more interesting. Even though they are obvious female live bearers, male live bearers of all verieties leave them alone. Guppies, mollies, platties, swords, even a mosquito fish ignored them.
Here's an attempt at a pic:
