longear or pumpkinseed?

[AMcCaleb]

So, I went fishing yesterday and I was hoping to get some northern longear sunfish for my 75 gallon native tank. I caught 6 fish, 2 juvenile green sunfish (only kept one) 1 tiny bluegill, and 3 other sunfish that I think are either longears or pumpkinseeds. I did a quick youtube video to get some help IDing these fish. If any of you could tell me what you think they are I would really appreciate it. The link to the video is below. The tank has a ton of algae in it because I was out of town all week for work and I had previously had it stocked with 7 bluegill and 1 green sunfish (I know that was way too many). I legally relocated them to a private pond before I put these new guys in there. I'm working on cleaning the tank up now. Anyways, let me know what you think they are please. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWzRYss3mo4

looks more like a Pumpkinseed to me.

Northern Longear

Pumpkinseeds. They have mottled patterns on the dorsal/anal fins and have vertical bars.

But when I goes on the laptop, the video is very clear than on the phone. You have all females of longear sunfish, not pumpkinseeds.

I did another excursion to the same creek this morning and I could use some help on these two as well. I caught this two in a different spot than the first ones but still the same creek. And these two came from the exact same spot within two minutes of each other. There are two of the fish facing to the right. That's the first one, and then the ones of the fish facing to the left are the second one.

Both are longear

awesome. Thanks for the input. I was really hoping they were all longear.

Here's another one from this morning. Almost looks like it could be an orange spotted sunfish or a dollar sunfish. Any opinions?
