Anyone know what Grouper this is?

There are a number of groupers with somewhat similar features. In the Red Sea, with which I am more familiar, it would be most similar to the greasy grouper (Epinephelus tauvina), but it isn't quite right. Yap may have a closely related species or E. tauvina may look a bit different in that corner of the Pacific. Hopefully someone familiar with that area can give a more definitive answer on what it is.

Thanks Bart,
There are several Epinephelus species with spots, but none of them are quite right. The closest I have seen is E. melanostigma, but only one of the many pictures I've seen of it look even close to this.
