Watercolor Signed* Ruiz Help please!

Hello everyone! Thanks again for all of your help on numerous IDing.

I purchased this painting a few days ago, and it is beautiful and very nicely detailed.
The pictures do not do it justice.

I've looked up the name Ruiz, and there are a few artists with that last name.
The one that looked most like this work was Antonio Ruiz. Obviously I would love for that to be, as Antonio is a well know Latin artist!

Please let me know if you think this may be him, or possibly another Ruiz!

Thanks for your help in advance!

The signature's not the same, and while there is a passing resemblance in the composition and colours used by Ruiz, I think this one is not the same quality as an original Ruiz. Personally I think the best one could say is it's "after Ruiz" (ie by a student or amateur copying his style).
