My vote is on Brown Trout....Why? cause its a brown trout? Black spots with few or none on the tail is the reason.

Brown Trout

Reasons

1: spots with lighter halos surrounding them.
2: squire tail
3: Mouth is hooked similar to a salmon as brown trout are in the Salmonidae family, and I don't believe it's a salmon because of color.
