I am using Gerry Allen's 1997 "Marine Fishes of Tropical Australia and south-east Asia" WA Museum. His illustration of a sub-adult doesn't show the distinctive colour pattern of the pectoral fins in your fish so my identification is tentative but otherwise it is a fairly good fit. I'm a fishwatcher but by no means an expert.Cheers, Pete</blockquote>
