Yelloweye RF?

Caught this over this yesterday @ML and need help IDing.

Is this a yellow eye or verm? My thought was a small yellow eye so released it.

One more...

Thats a Canary.

Orange stripes on cheeks = canary

Thanks Darius.

Guess there are multiple canary species out there and it was the first for me. The slight black fin had me thinking it was a yelloweye

Thanks!  That’s a really good source. 

Juvenile yelloweye do have white striping on the side, but it's different striping than canaries have.  Both canaries and yelloweye have smooth chins, as well, making the whole thing tricky sometimes.

I agree 100% on the canary ID.  There are a lot of yelloweyes out there too though, good job on playing it safe.

Thanks Tez. The juveniles was my only concern and next year probably be a good idea for me to carry a laminated ID for most RF we have on our coast.

Another way to tell is the scales. Yelloweye have smaller scales that are stacked really close together. Juveniles are usually a bright red with a bright white stripe down the side. Very "clean" looking fish. The scales look rough also.
