Northern and CNBG can have very similar colors depending on location but it "looks" like there could be a patch above and behind eye that would lead me to say yes, it could be a CNBG. www.aquaticspecialties.info I Subscribe!

The copper stripe is usually bigger and easier to see on larger fish, if you have any. "Live like you'll die tomorrow, but manage your grass like you'll live forever." -S. M. Stirling
