This fish will be arriving tomorrow afternoon. I'm sure it's a Marmorata but from what I know there are quite a few regional variants. Any idea which variant this girl is?
Female Marmorata?

That's what I thought at first but after a closer look I decided it was Marm because of the pattern. In any case a superb buy at SGD$80!Hadrian;1652876; said:
I currently own a Trombeta Marm female and 2 Tapajos Marm females and it doesn't resemble either. I would agree with Hadrian and Chiefmojo and say it looks to be a Lenticulata.
The peppery black blotches and hint of yellow are characteristically Marmorata. I think we'll need P_P's expertise on this one.
Doesn't this look just like mine? And it's a Marm.

If you haven't seen them, go to this link of Chiefmojos Lents, this is why we are saying they are Lents. His has more black freckles but other than that, there are quite similar. Like you said, either way it is a very nice pike.

It's a lent and I would argue that the fish that you linked to is misID'd and is a lent as well.
