I'd say RTG. In the reflection it doesn't look to have full cross.
 
here is another pic, what do you guys think?

I can see gold rim on 6th level developing so it's an xback IMHO
It's a nice looking aro, I have a highback gold that I would trade for that lol

Where about is this fish? And does it have a certificate and what farm?
 
Can somebody please explain all the terms with Asian aro to me please? I.e high back, x back etc?

When talking about golds, an xback is an aro that has gold rim developing/developed on it's 6th scale row, a highback will reach the 5th level, and anything under that is just an RTG (red tail gold). In the first picture you can see gold on the 5th level clearly so immediately you know it isn't a regular RTG, in the second picture when looking right at the top of the fish you can see gold rim developing on the 6th level.
Hope that answers your question.

Heres a picture that I hope helps show the levels to you.
