Indonesian Scorpionfishes

  1. I'm captioning some videos and stuck on a bunch of scorpionfish from Bali and Bunaken/Manado.

     

    Originally I had some of these down as Scorpaenopsis barbata but Indonesia seems to generally be excluded in the distribution. That brings species such as Scorpaenopsis oxycephala, Scorpaenopsis papuensis, Scorpaenopsis possi and Scorpaenopsis venosa into the frame but I'm really struggling to nail them.

     

    Can anyone identify these or give me a "most likely" identification?

     

    Thanks!

  2. And the last one, which definitely doesn't look like Scorpaenopsis barbata.
