The white fin tips tell the story, it's a rainbow.
About the orange flesh, all the big bows I catch have orange or red flesh, probably because of the diet that is present where I catch them. I've never caught a bow out of Strawberry that wasn't orange like a salmon inside.
One thing about rainbow trout, they're actually landlocked steelhead salmon. Literally the exact same species as the steelhead that run up the rivers of the northwest, and they can easily develop flesh just like salmon if they have the right diet and conditions.
