green sunfish 100%

I've never seen that coloring on a greenie myself, not saying that is not what it is, but is it possible that it is a hybrid? It definately looks like a green sunfish, particularly in the mouth, but the ones around here do not have that coloration. A local variant maybe? Or are the ones around here variants LOL?

It's a bleached out & stressed out sunfish not a local variant....

I've caught and kept lots of greenies around here with that coloration. Very normal for these parts imo.
