poor cod ID

hi all again another beginers question for you :oops: , though I have learned a bit since I started here about a year ago (Thanks to everyone). Any pictures I see here of small poor cod look very like what I'm catching and calling pout/pouting, what are the identification marks or differences. Thanks again.

As always thanks, I've only been getting the pouting then :| all had the pronounced barbel below the mouth and just behind and under the mouth. The colour variations also are always evident.

Pictures can be misleading. The fin locations are the easiest way to ID.
