Most obvious difference in pictures is the Ozark version has an orange stripe on its nape. The Northern version often, but not always has a bright red spot on the opercular tab like a Pumpkinseed. To my hand, the Northern is also rubbery like a green sunfish as you try to restrain it. Northern does not get as big and is generally chunkier. Northern also favors Pumpkinseed in many ways.

Funny, true certainly of greens, I haven't handled enough northern sunfish to notice. Great convention contest. Blindfolded ID contest. All fun and games until the tadpole madtom comes out.
