ID help on mislabeled daylily?

I bought a dwarf daylily at least 10 years ago. It was labeled Minstrel Boy, but it doesn't look like the AHS database photo. Does anyone know what it is? It looks darker than normal in the photos because of the early morning light and having just opened. It's a prolific grower, little to no rebloom.

Looks like what is called Purple deOro. You ask a lot, with a pic in which the bloom isn't even fully open and the pic is taken at a time that distorts color.

I'll try for a better shot and check Purple deOro online. Thanks for the help.

We've had tree trimmers here for three days. The increased light will be great for the garden, but I had to take photos before they came.
