Yeah I think it's a gurnard too.
Over here in New Zealand they are red.

That is the name...gurnard...This morning I could not for the life of think of it. So I settled for sergeant baker, which is a gurnard.

Fins are not the right size and shape for a flyer.

They are only red in NZ cos they are embarrassed about being there...haha. Here in Aust they are red with spots, cos it makes them go foster 😊

Yes Markt .... they are red in NZ AND they bark too ...AND grow to a good size too at least 4 Kilos the biggest I have caught To our Oz Mate 'itsaboat' yours might be spotty BUT do they "Bark" like our NZ ones do !!!!

I think you will find they grunt, not bark.

In fact many fish grunt. Some so much so that they get their name from grunting...

Obvious ones would be grunter, such as sooty grunter etc.

A less obvious fish named after it's habit to grunt would be the gurnard. It's name is derived from the French word gurnard, which means 'to grunt'....Actually it is not really derived is it? It is not a derivative of gurnard, it IS gurnard...meaning in English and Kiwi, 'to grunt'.

Not sure if ours sounds like yours. Cook one up and throw it on a plate with some chups and see what it sounds like 😊
