Body shape was the first thing that caught my attention. Also, the coloration is different. Look at the fins, no orange or white edging where it would be in even an immature GSF of that size. There is no black spot at the base of the soft dorsal fin area like there is in GSF and BG. Also, the patterning of the spot dots on the sides is different as well at the coloration on the gill flap. The eye shape is also different in the species.
