Weird, they don't look like BG I have ever caught, very light coloration and the specks made me think of some kind of hybridization, too. Other than the specks though I don't see any other characteristics that suggest hybridization that I can discern at least.

Sex ID is also challenging for me. Opercular tabs are not very pronounced on any fish, which is one of the characteristics I rely on most for ID. My guesses are all male, but I'm hardly certain:

1. Male - based on color and shape, but opercular tab is still abbreviated like a female.

2. This fish looks like a male due to the scale tipping, but Bruce says he's sampled females with scale tipping - so it's not 100% guarantee trait of male.

3. Male - but again opercular tab isn't much to go by - it's also quite small.

4. I'm guessing male, but it's rather light colored and opercular tab is smallish, again.
