Im in the air about it. Im not an experienced fisherman by any means. But the body kind of looks like a brown and the head looks like a cut throat...
So im going to say a cutthroat.

Cuts do not always have this characteristic (at least not obvious in this picture). They are often a very pale orange slash, but when cut are that golden/orange color it's pretty hard to tell.
The spots are the strongest identifying feature.

Big pink belly, hardly any spots at front, but lots toward the tail,forked tail (not square)....CUTTHROAT.
Location will also help with ID (uncommon to see big cutts and browns together)

Yep, definitely a cutthroat. So obvious it is kind of scary some people are saying Brown trout....
Colour, spot size(small), spot location(back end of fish and all over tail) are the give aways.
Slash may or may not be present as the photo doesn't show necessary angle.

Cutthroat, or cutbow at a minimum...
Man, I can't believe some people are saying brown... Kind of scary. If you can't identify the fish you are catching, I hope you aren't retaining any.
The google search result someone posted is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LIKE THE OP's PHOTO!

Agreed. Some people need to study their fish IDs.

Yup.
Very clearly a cutie cuttie. If you have any fishing experience you really should know this one yet if not one should really brush up on their fish identification skills.

You'll never know until you ask.
Good on you for admitting you don't know, and gaining more knowledge for next time.
I'm not ashamed to say I don't know what kind of trout that is. I've only seen trout that weren't stocked rainbows a handful of times in my life.
