There are several carp species, but this one looks a little disproportionate to me. Contact your local fish and game and text him the photo and I'm sure you'll get an accurate answer. Let us know what he says.
P.S. I have my local F&G Officer on my phone. If I am out fishing and encounter an issue, I have his number readily at hand. Has come in handy several times. Have used it several times with dangerous boater, and poachers, etc.
Here in Indiana game officers are called Conservation Officers. My Grandfather was James Dallas Pitzer the only Conversation Officer shot and killed in the line of duty. He was murdered by a poacher. Every year the Pitzer award is given out to the Outstanding Conservation Officer for the entire state of Indiana.
