Warty or Painted Frogfish? ID

[1979fishgeek]

Hi

Just picked up this fella, he was purchased as a Warty Frogfish but I’m not sure on this ID. I’ve got a Warty and I’ve owned them in the past but this guy seems more reminiscent of a Painted going by his colouring, however I know trying to ID a Frogfish buy it’s colour is not accurate.

What do you think?

Thanks.

I am by no stretch an expert on these guys, but I just wanted to say he's super cute either way and bump this up for you so someone who knows sees it

It is a warty, I mean the warts are a dead giveaway, that is why they call them wartskin anglers. The coloring is also classic warty from my experience.
