Fish Identification Needed

I took a couple of fish photos a while back. I'm trying to figure out what each specifically is for the description in a contest. I believe they're both scuplins, but not sure the specific kind. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Top is a scalyhead sculpin, and I believe the bottom one is a roughback sculpin.

Gawd, I'd know a scaleyhead anywhere now...bloody things are all over PT...but I gotta admit, they're pretty damned cute!

Also, I think it's a male scalyhead because of the big pre-ocular cirri, and big fat head.
