Pumpkinseed sunfish

I have both bluegill and pumpkinseed in my small pond. It looks more colorful than my bluegill and not orange enough to be a pumpkinseed. I hope that vast amount of scientifically advanced knowledge helps.

And the majority has it with a Pumpkin seed fish of the swimming thumb sucking variety.

Could be a longeared sunfish. Very similar to the pumpkinseed.

That is a long-eared sunfish:Lepomis megalotis. We have them all over the Ozarks.

I believe that it is a Saluki, Southern Illinois is full of them... Sometime they are hard to catch... It all depends on how you put the worm 🐛 on the hook...

I think you are on the wrong site. This is what I found on Saluki.

That dogfish is kinda bony. Must have burned off all his fat chasing catfish?

This is the Saluki I am taking about...I am aware that Saluki is a beautiful dog that in 1950 the students voted on as their mascot... The sports fan call themselves Saluki’s... I would say the fish 🐠 is a Pumpkin 🎃 Seed, Just a WAG...

WHAT'S A SALUKI?
AT SIU, THE SALUKI IS A COLLECTIVE SPIRIT THAT DEFINES OUR CULTURE IN OUR HOMETOWN AND IN THE HEARTS OF OUR PROUD ALUMNI. OH, AND A SALUKI IS A DOG, TOO.

The reason I’m thinking long ear is because of the lack of the red spot next to the dark ear spot.

I see your point. But it doesn’t have that pronounced ’forehead‘ of a longear. I’m thinking maybe a mutation of sorts.

Good point, they can interbreed and the results are highbrid males .
