Fish Identification....stumped!

Just caught this one today at Portmahomack (NE Scotland) - I know the lower fish in the picture is a Coley, but totally confused about the top fish, can't ID it.....wrasse possibly? Any help appreciated!






It has a line of spines before the dorsal fin that are lying down in the picture..if that helps!!!
