I'll vote with TubeDude. That's a bow in the picture. If you were to clean that fish in the same way that I would, there would be no doubt that is was a rainbow. Maybe PBH would have a different opinion. You'd need to check the 
and gill rakers to be sure. But when I clean a fish, those parts are removed. I have released lots of bows up there, but not for the worry that they were cutts, or cuttbows. I'd think that the DWR would want cuttbows taken out of the gene pool. If they are already part rainbow, and are able to spawn, they'll "pollute" the gene pool even futher with every spawning season.
