## Notes
I had some real difficulties to identify this Gobius. It is very close to [Gobius fallax](https://doris.ffessm.fr/Especes/Gobius-fallax-Gobie-de-Sarato-3378/(rOffset)/11). It is said that G. incognitus have a kind of V mark on the front of its head, between its eyes. I don't have any pictures of this individual that show this and it's very difficult to identify just using the marks. I can barely see a bolder mark on the first picture, took by profile, that's why I'm tending to think about G. incognitus rather than G. fallax.
