Is this a gudgeon?

[swimfrim]

My son caught this today. Looks like a gudgeon but it is too silver and no lateral markings. Can anyone identify exactly what it is?

First welcome mate

This was caught in a small pond in Aldershot,Hants. The pond has roach,perch,chub,carp,tench but I didn't think bleak. It looks a gudgeon shape and has gudgeon colour fins. But it has no stripy/spotty markings. Looks similar to Norfolk Boy's pic of a Gudgeon in this same section, but not quite. Could it be a hybrid?I haven't been fishing for 20 odd years, but my 11 year old son wanted to go, and we went for the first time today. I'm a bit out of touch.

Yeah, I'm going with Gudgeon now too looking at it again, although it's slightly different to the ones I've caught before.

Gudgeon if I remember right have little barbs under the mouth like barble and that would solve it
