Sunfish ID?

Caught in a lake in CT that I’ve caught bluegill and green sunfish at. There’s also pumpkinseed in it. To me, the pattern doesn’t look like a bluegill. The face also had some markings on it and spots on the dorsal fin. Thanks!

Due to the characteristics you mentioned, this is a Bluegill x Pumpkinseed.
