I think the bright sunlight on it really has the colors appearing vividly, leading to the confusion. Not a green sunfish for sure. Wouldn't a bluegill have a black dot near the pectoral fin? Or, does that come later? The first bottles of Coca Cola contained 3.5 grams of cocaine. That's how our grandparents were able to walk to school uphill both ways in the snow.

Very common here in the rivers and ponds. We also have some Pumpkin seeds but not as common. I'm thinking Pumpkinseed also. The flashy black, blue and orange colors are breeding colors to attract a mate. That one is way too young for that Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon. Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor. Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

Or, does that come later? Good question. I don't know for sure. I've seen a lot of little fry bluegills and that was my first inclination when I saw the picture. We could just call it a sunny or sunfish which encompasses about dozen species of fish. www.iowatrapperstalk.com
