So I was looking for some tutorials on how to paint tyranids and I came across this picture. I have no idea what scheme it is. So what is it?

Looks like Behemoth. Could be Kronos, reversed.
Leviathan is white and purple. I checked by googling 'Hive Fleet colours' and clicking Images.

Behemoth and because its bigger the artist has also put in some magenta to the ends of the vent stacks and the gun. Often bigger beasties will get some variation on schemes and some artistic flare because they are larger and often have more unique details to them.

The yellow markings make it look like the Court of the Nephilim King from the old 'How to Paint Citadel Miniatures - Tyranid Invasion Swarms' book. It's from Hive Fleet Nephilim a splinter of Hive Fleet Behemoth after it's destruction at Macragge.

Interesting. You're right that there is a strong resemblance. This particular hierophant was painted back in 2012 (by Garfy, from the Tale Of Painters blog), while the 'How to Paint Citadel Miniatures - Tyranid Invasion Swarms' book only came out around 2014.
I believe that book was the first time this colour scheme and hive fleet was mentioned in a GW publication. I wouldn't be surprised if GW based it on that bloggers army.
