White Crappie from the DWR website:

They have more of a slope from the head to the dorsal fins than the black crappie have. There are very few places in the state that have white crappie, the main location being Gunnison Bend reservoir. They've moved up to DMAD and the river above DMAD along with black crappie. In Leamington canyon many years ago, I caught a white and a black crappie on subsequent casts. My parents have a picture of them squirreled away somewhere. They both tasted about the same. (yummy [cool] )
The OP's fish is definitely a black crappie. And a nice one too.
