I caught several of these in a small lake (big pond in my book) in central VA. Is it a Red Eared Sunfish? If so, is it the same thing as a Shellcracker? It doesn’t look like the ones I see pictured on here from further South? I am familiar with the Bluegill caught here in TN, as they look exactly the same as the ones I caught up there.

But what are the ones called in the first picture, they look different from what I have caught in East Tennessee. Thanks for the help.
