Firstly, I question the identification of the "male green sunfish (GSF)" that the neighbor's hired hand stocked into the pond. If there was no photo of this orginal fish, then I am agreeing with Cecil and ewest that the "male" fish was likey a pumpkinseed sunfish not a green sunfish.
The gill cover markings of your hybrid sunfish are very similar to those of pumpkinseed sunfish parentage and not green sunfish.
