Colouration: ocular-side pigmentation uniformly yellow to light-brown with dark-brown irregular speckles and blotches while the blind-side pigmentation is uniformly white, with well-developed pepper-dots and dermal melanophores at bases of dorsal and anal fins; bases of anteriormost dorsal- and anal-fin rays with obvious dermal spots on both sides; peritoneum bluish-black (Ref. 126065).
