The body shape between the two us pretty close. The main differences are found in the spines of the pectoral fins and the huge black spot on the dorsal fin of the sspotted.
While not all browns have spots, some do; in particular the Florida morph. True spotted bullheads will have a number of small, round spots all over their body. A Florida morph brown will have sharp edged, rarely round spots. They have more of a speckling effect that gives a marbled pattern, like the fishbin question.
While labeled as a spotted, this is a Florida morph brown, and a large part of the reason why I wrote that piece over on PCF:

I wouldn't get my hopes up too much if I were you. I'm 100% confident that this isn't a spotted. I'd post a bit mor thoroughly but my phone is a pita.
If need be, I'll address this some more later tonight.
