Spinner, the tilapia you pictured is a cross/hybrid of Nile and Blue Tilapia...with leanings toward the more hardy blue genetics...a MUCH better stocker than a straight nile/moz cross or Nile! The "Whiteness" may be because the original stock was bought as a food fish and they used "Pearl colored" brooders to hide scale loss when sold and handled.
Expect total death around 52 degrees and amazing and noisy bass gorging activities at the coolest time of night when water temps hit 58 degrees and all watm pockets are gone.
