What kind of carp is this?

Anyone know what kind of carp this is? I caught it yesterday. The scales look different from those of a common carp.

    I've caught several out of a local water, over the past few years. Biggest one was 10lb so far. That was a few weeks ago. I'm guessing we may be fishing the same area. Since you're from Mt. P.

    It was from twin lakes. I do most my carp fishing there and ocassionally ill fish bridgeport. I used to hit the paylakes a lot but not so much anymore. Maybe 2-3 times a year.

    Maybe not then. I don't like twin lakes. Too many people for me to enjoy fishing. It's cool to see mirrors coming out of a few different places.
