Colouration: ocular-side pigmentation uniformly yellow to light-brown, usually with 5-7 complete or incomplete crossbands while blind-side pigmentation uniformly white, usually with pepper-dots and relatively few dermal melanophores at bases of dorsal and anal fins; distinct dermal spots on bases of the anteriormost dorsal- and anal-fin rays on both sides; peritoneum bluish-black (Ref. 126065).
