Well, it's probably NOT:
stonei
signipinnis
euryzonus
welaka
hubbsi
harperi
so that leaves
hypselopterus
grandipinnis
metallicus
merlini-- kinda iffy; maybe if fins were more orange. Body is deep enough, though. Maybe. Does have pronounced tubercules like merlini.
I doubt it's a grandipinnis simply because their range is so small we almost never see those, and the fins aren't that grand
I couldn't tell metallicus & hypselopterus apart without a side by side comparison, so without knowing where they were caught I could only guess. I usually guess wrong.
My best guess? merlini.
hypselopterus is my second guess.
