Fish ID

My friend sent me this picture from Kalbarri and i cant work out what the fish on the left is . My first thoughts were a Blue Bastard or a Sand Snapper but it seems to be a bit different from any pictures i can find.

 

Cheers Grant .

Yeah i thought that too but the colours just dont match, unless because it was caught from the surf it had gone very light in colour ?

Cheers kmo, that looks like it . He did say it was more blue when he landed it but it lost colour very quickly .   http://www.whatsthatfish.com/fish/somber-sweetlips/1891
