Lion fish ID

What species of lion fish is this?

 

[Hondatek]

Looks like a volitan lion. Could be a russels though I have a hard time telling those two apart

I think it is a radiata lionfish.

 

[JuanArti]

That's what I was thinking..

It's definitely a Radiata Lionfish....Volitans have a "feathery" tip at the end if their spines

To me it looks nothing like this ....

Thank god a Volitan would've been to big for my tank

It is definitely not a radiata, antennata, mombasse, sphex, or dwarf of any sort. The most likely culprits are P. volitans, P. miles, P. russelli... all of which grow to roughly the same size.

Personally, I believe it is a P. volitans, the antennae above the eye are less common in the miles and russelli.
