Oh really I thought mine ( the one below was a spotty for sure ) interesting

 

[glandyman]

Both spotties I think , the spots on a blonde go all the way to the edge as you can see from JLD's library images.

The top one has circles of darker spots in the middle of each wing ? Same as the online photo. I'm no expert on rays and will happily bow to a more experienced opinion but that was what I was looking at.

Underwater kites!

My ones spots don’t go to the edge I’m glad we aren’t sure means I’m not thick ?

My opinion would be, after consulting Henderson's book

Blonde top, spots go to fringe and there are cream spots which are not usually seen on a Spotted Ray

Spotted lower pic, spots don't go to edge, no cream spots.

It's a pity the top pic doesn't show it flat, that would allow a more positive identification.
