I say bullhead but my wife needs convincing.

Your picture did not show. Easiest way to tell the difference is look at the tail forked tail CC. Straight or slight margin dent on the tail some type of bullhead. See these links to help inform your room mate.

Note the flathead catfish does not have a deeply forked tail.

I agree, a better pic is needed for positive ID, but I'm leaning towards bullhead.
