B&W Sunfish ID

Here is the next picture, as requested. Remember, you need to explain why the fish is what you think it is. Good luck.

Wow this is hard than previous B&W game. Well I can rule out few species thats do have black spot on dorsal fins and def not redbreast sunfish...I might think this is pumpkinseed because of its ear as its not long as longear and have little white edges near black ear.

That's fine, you're just the first to suggest it but I'm sure others may come to that conclusion. I'm just putting it out there, I won't post any hybrid fish; unless perhaps its a hybrid and I don't know it. The above fish, I'm positive is not a hybrid.

Ooh, this is getting tougher.

Looks like one of my P-seeds 10 dorsal spines, 3 anal spines what looks like long pointed pectoral fins, the top streak on the cheek starts at the top of the ear through the eye and the way the streak below the eye looks like eye liner following the curve of the eye. Deep body, no black spot on the dorsal. You can also see where the spots are very distinct on the bottom of the body and start to blend in more with the rest of the body as you go up.

I say pumpkinseed for all the same reasons listed above By Gator. I dont have any grown ones in my tanks yet to compare to, as i did the dollars, which i missed miserably on last ID but this fish to me fits everything i see in the PICS.
