Rudd or Roach?

Probably Roach - Rudd would normally be deeper-bodied than that, I think.

Reckon they're rudd, myself.

I pretty certain I can see the "upturned" mouth (bottom lip protruding beyond top) and set-back dorsal fin typical of rudd - on roach the front edge of the dorsal fin is in line with the pelvic fins, on rudd the dorsal is behind that line.

I'd agree with blythkeith for all the reasons he gives. Feeding at the surface as seen in the photos is also typical Rudd behaviour - hence the upturned mouth.
