Only the fingerprint is a unique identifier for the keyblock (aka
certificate, public key). Allowing a User-id would require extra code
in gpg and by the caller to either ask back or to fail if there is an
ambiguity.
The -F:::::: is an interesting hack but Andrew's or my variant works
with all AWK implementations:
awk -F: '$1=="fpr" {print $10}' | head -1
