That is the problem with common names... They often refer to the same species. Some areas mudcats are bullheads and other area ore flathead catfish. The non channel catfish in the picture is a
yellow bullhead. A couple other views of yellow bullheads.
View 1View 2View 3View 4There are three common bullhead species, black, brown and yellow. The yellow can easily be told apart from the other two species in that it's chin barbels are pure white and sometime mixed with some yellow, VERY rarely brown or black like in the other two species which always have brown or black pigmentation to their chin barbels.
