Ewest what in the picture makes you think BG instead of RES?

I have both in my sediment pond and have a real tough time telling the difference at that size. I get a lot more CNBG than RES but if I catch them both in the trap at the same time and there are lots of CNBG but only one or two RES they look enough different that I THINK I can tell. Once they get up to about 3" then the coloring on the ear tab starts showing up and it is easier.

Been getting a number out of my tiny pre-sediment pond that only has spawning size RES and the 1-2" coming out of it look just like Shorty's picture.
