hi Rostratusgar,
i also believe you have a Florida gar. the pattern and build match the farmed Florida gars we see in the hobby most frequently. SNG usually have a different pattern at this stage (although they can look similar), and the likelihood of getting spotted gars out there is very low. IMO (and i believe Richard and i have discussed this as well), SPGs at YOY stages appear to have smaller eyes than FLGs...may try to dig up some pics for comparison, but it's a weird occurrence that is just more or less observation/opinion at this stage--
