Xray, what I did to id the fish was to first consult Humann. Yellowtail reeffish appeared to be the closest thing to your photo, but the color in Humann's photo didn't quite match yours. I have the Humann 2nd ed., maybe he has more photos for this fish in the 3rd ed. I think Humann's photo was of a juvenile, while yours was of an adult. Because I was still uncertain, I went to "Fishes of the Gulf of Mexico": Amazon.com: Fishes of the Gulf of Mexico: Texas, Louisiana, and Adjacent Waters (W.L. Moody, Jr., Natural History Series , No 22): H. Dickson Hoese, Richard H. Moore: Books
This nailed it down. In case you don't have it, I recommend this latter book as a reference, although it is rather dry and technical and the pictures aren't very good.
