ID Perch please

Very cool! My guess would be that it is Lates calcarifer with a pigment mutation. There are some in Portland or Seattle (can't remember which) in a public aquarium. They are mixed color with some white pacthes on them.
 
I'm pretty sure its a Lates sp but I doubt its Lates calcarifer because unlike the nile perch you can't see a black pupil with this fish its all ruby red and the color is close to the nigerian variant but again different eyes and it lacks a high dorsal fin.

the red eye is from the light reflection of the pupil...
