Translucent orange margin on the opercular tab is what I saw. Can't really see the size of the mouth very well although it does not look overly large (for a HBG) in the picture.
Not a lot of other GSF characteristics. That is why I ask if it was from a stocked fish or a natural cross. Wondered if it might be from a HBG male x BG female showing only marginal GSF.
Pictures are so hard to tell though. It is sure a lot easier for me when I can have fish in hand. Then things seem more obvious. May be just the picture.
A fish I would be proud to have in my pond at any rate.
