A fish!!!
Man, that was easy...LOL
Ok, that was really not my one guess. I would say a common bluegill. I know it has some unusual colors, but the overall body shape and ear flaps lead me to believe it is a bluegill. Lepomis Macrochirus

Man that's a tough one (Not the fish! Tough one is not my guess!) I would say bluegill, but it has a bigger mouth than most of the bluegills that I normally see. The bars on the side are not very distinct, but they are there and they puzzle me too. It's kinda got those aquamarine squiggles on the face too.  I always go with the odds when I'm in doubt and you can find longears in just about every color and shape variation you can think of and some that you ain't never thought of.

So far all guesses are incorrect.
I'm making a new contest thread and adding a prize.
No prize will be awarded on this thread so check out the new thread titled: Win a new rod! Should be easy, right?
Don't hate, participate AND WIN.

I would guess a green sunfish. Doesn't have all of the hallmarks but looks like one to me!

It's a bluegill redbreast hybrid (L.macrochirus x L. auritus).

I think it's straight up Lepomis Auritus. It has the blue cheeks and the flap is pure black.
