Catfish ID

[gnabgib]

Can anyone id these catfish? They were sold as sun catfish but they don't seem to have the color of the sun catfish i've seen in other threads like this one:

Here's my pics, sorry they're kinda blurry.

Body shape looks right but photo doesen't show the spot that is normally quite noticeable. Any chance of better photos?

yeah looks to be a bullhead cat

I believe it is a yellow bullhead.
definitely not a sun cat. the eyes are wrong. bullheads have little eyes like a flathead. sun cats look more like the ID shark. (low slung eyes almost parallel with the mouth and they are also larger eyes.)

I'll second the yellow bullhead

Snail Bullhead? Nice Convicts
I saw an awesome Sun Catfish in the LFS the other day. He was cute!

That was the best pic i could get of them. They hid in the plants till I put food in the tank then they go ballistic. I like them though. They keep the convicts in check and are interesting to feed.
