Looks like channa argus aka nothern snakehead.
 
Are snakeheads not illegal across the whole US anymore?
 
To the OP.

Do not buy these fish unless you have a seriously big pond/pool.
These fish grow to a ridiculus size, and are not suitable for home aquaria.

If you care AT ALL about the hobby, steer way clear of these, and report the seller.

Selling these (and any snakeheads) in USA is illegal for a reason. The guy selling these just wants rid. Unsuspecting buyers will buy these fish of him then in the months to come when they get waaaay over 3ft long and owner can't handle it they get slaughtered or dumped into the local rivers where they cause havoc, strenghening the governments reasons for an outright ban.

Don't do it!!

(If you have suitable conditions and live outside of the US, then ignore me. But even then big mistake buying these.)
