Ghost or Common Carp?

[Inderblitz]

I went fishing today and while out, hooked into this lovely little 5Lb 5 Oz Carp. However, it's one i haven't seen before and has a dark kind of shadow on it's face. MY main question is, Is it a ghost or common carp and what (If any) are the differences? I'm guessing it's a common with just some dark mark but i thought worth checking.

 

Thanks

 

P.S Sorry pictures so small, its the only way i could find of reducing the file size enough to add them to the forum

 

Another bad pic im afraid.

Has some ornamental blood so I'd call it a ghostie. They're all the same species so it doesn't really matter.

looks to have many traits of a ghost
