Looks a lot like a bluefin trevally, but I can't tell from the colors on the picture. Definitively a Jack of some sort.

Definitely a trevally, yup. My best guess is Carangoides gymostethus.
It's got the weird head-indentation, hint of yellow on the caudal fins, the tiny spots, and very faint vertical bands.
