Kieth's fish in the first photo do posess similar body markings of a pumpkinseed. That is close to what I was looking for. Kieth's fish also has a few streaks on cheeks similar to ewests photo. Some GSF can have a weak rose to slight orange color on the back side of the gill flap, but never red as in ewest's pumpkinseed photo.
