Thanks frank! And it definitely looks more like an Australian species in my opinion. Something in the Maccullochella genus

lol why you thanking me like I know what I'm talking about? HAHA I didn't even guess cuz IDK what any of them are lol I've seen those species before, but don't ask me to ID them. Aussie-fish aren't my strong-point
.....at all.I'm just here to troll. LMAO
I could be wrong but I dont see where that fish resembles a murray cod.I have had the pleasure of keeping them both in the same tank very recently.I dont have any photos saved of them but I found these for comparison's sake.

Barramundi
...and here is a Murray cod.

Yeah it does look more barramundi ish now, I mistook the scale pattern as speckling. I've also never seen a mundi that dark before, is that there juvenile colouring?
It is most definitely a Lates species.
Niloticus are mottled when very young in my very limited knowledge. This fish looks like it could be past that phase and has some size on it, albeit guesstimating size from such a photo can be grossly misleading.
The darkness or lightness of the coloration is a crucial function of lighting and photography. It can vary wildly and can be utterly unreliable, unless photographed professionally. But even so, the fish mood affects it too, often quite notably, and not always evenly, meaning the "mottleness" may appear or disappear depending on fish's mood.
What's harder to fake appears to be sheen.
