Here are the names of the basic types of sunfish as identified by the Texas Parks&Wildlife Dept. They have pictures of all six on their web site including the scientific names. They also describe each fish and include the types of habitat they are most commonly found in. Green Sunfish,Redbreast Sunfish,Longear Sunfish,Redear Sunfish,Warmouth Sunfish, and the most common of them all the Bluegill Sunfish.

I'm learning the correct names as well. I called it perch jerkin all my life until I saw a real perch. I'm enjoying the process of identifying my new catches. Recently I've caught green sunfish, and I think a warmouth.

Nice fish. Lee Finley. I also call it "Perch Jerking" and I to have learned a ton following these anglers on the Bluegill forum. I don't target the sunfish but I really enjoy reading the post!
Side Note: Your fish looks like a Warmouth to me. I am sure someone who knows for sure will I.D. your fish.
