). Body whitish to pale yellowish brown, with scattered small brown spots (placed toward base of each scale); scale margins of dorsum narrowly outlined with darker brown; spots on sides largest and more irregular along mid to lower half of body and in some specimens these spots form about two diffuse rows of very short streaks. Head pale brownish dorsally, becoming paler on sides; underside of head unpigmented; indistinct broad brown bar running from eye to end just above lower edge of preopercle. Breast and belly unpigmented. Pectoral fin base pale with diffuse brown blotch on upper quarter. Five blackish narrow blotches along ventral midline, two above anal fin and two on caudal peduncle and one across bases of ventral procurrent rays. In front of mid-base of caudal fin, a narrow partly internal black line or elongate spot. Bases of upper procurrent rays with brown blotch. Two brown spots on caudal fin at base, upper spot placed just above midline, and lower spot usually smaller than upper and always placed slightly more ventrally from mid-line.
