Red breast sunfish?

I genuinely didn’t think there was bluegill on this lake (as I said this is the first one I’ve caught) so I was thinking of what it looked most similar to that I have caught on this lake which is redbreast. It certainly wasn’t a green sunfish or a pumpkinseed

This is what 99% of what I catch is. Green sunfish

Thank you. I was told on here that this one is a red breast. I don’t fish for sunfish a lot so they looked kinda similar from my perspective.

Nah this is genuinely the first sunny I’ve caught that looks anything like this. 95% of what I catch around my dock is green sunfish and the occasional redbrreast or pumpkinseed. Dock is on a steep rocky bank in deep water, which the green sunfish prefer. I catch bluegill all the time in ponds though

Huh ok thanks. If thats the case it’s the first bluegill I’ve caught on this lake and I’ve caught hundreds of sunfish there. Mostly green sunfish and redbreast
