Yellowtail rockfish have less rays in the back lower anal fin, and they also have yellow orange speckles. People often confuse them especially in pics taken underwater because the water color mutes out the specks but since it out of the water the specks would show, so if I had to guess I'd say that's an Olive Rockfish or Johny bass.

Here's a good pic of a Yellowtail with it's specks.
