Looks like a lizard fish to me.

I doubt it is a fish from the Synodontidae family, jaw structure is way too small. I don't know what it is though, Im not great with fish taxonomy, so I could be wrong.

I think it's one of the sandperches in the genus Parapercis (Family Pinguipedidae); looks similar to the U-mark sandperch, P. snyderi.

Could be. I think a better picture is needed.

Do you know where the fish is from? Did you purchase from a store or collect it yourself?
