Having never seen one I can't say for sure, but I don't think so, looks like a bluegill to me. Pictures I've seen of tilapia and the ones I've seen in stores, they are much lighter than that. More silvery, like a shad.

A War mouth and a green sunfish are the most commonly mistaken for one another.
