Looks like a common with a knobby shell to me, nothing out of the ordinary. Ive kept both common and ally snappers. Head position is too far out and too tilted up to be an ally. The eyes to the tip of the nose is too short to be an ally. Looks like a well fed (actively searching for food in the pics too) common snapper.
