Body light brown in specimens with fully-expanded chromatophores and creamy white with fine, brown spots in specimens with contracted chromatophores. Caudal region with dark chromatophores evenly distributed other than for denser concentration of spots along dorsal midline and along base of caudal fin. Chromatophores less concentrated above base of anal fin and on ventrolateral surface of abdomen. Humeral region of body with more densely concentrated patch of dark chromatophores forming diffuse, triangular blotch extending posteriorly in some individuals as far as length of adpressed pectoral fin. Dorsal and lateral surfaces of nape, snout, and dorsal portion of head as far ventrally as horizontal extending through orbit with few, scattered, dark chromatophores.
