Bluehead Sucker

The bluehead sucker is a non-game fish native to western North America. For years, bluehead suckers and green suckers where considered to be a single species due to their similar appearance.

However, genetic (DNA) testing confirmed differences and the green sucker was identified as a separate species.

It’s almost impossible to visually distinguish between bluehead and green suckers.
