In some of Missouri's clear(mostly)ozark streams we have pumpkin seeds of a wide variety of colors.Just about surprise you with their color.Neat fish for sure...
The orange eye is even more cool to me than the rest of the colors! Thanks for sharing the photo.
Neat looking fish. That is one of the reasons I like to fish for the bream, perch, gills, etc., all the colors. They are a beautiful fish.
Orange spotted sunfish and beautiful.
