That file is a cifti file, as denoted by the two-part ".dlabel.nii"
extension, more information here:

https://wiki.humanconnectome.org/display/PublicData/HCP+Users+FAQ#HCPUsersFAQ-1.Whatare*dtseries.nii,*.dconn.nii,*dlabel.nii,*.dscalar.niifiles
?

For volume files, we almost always compress them, resulting in a file that
ends in ".nii.gz".

We recommend using surface-based ROIs when doing cortical tractography, and
using volume seed masks only for subcortical seeds, but someone else will
have to answer this part in detail, as I haven't run tractography.
