Help with identifying this fish

[Scuba-Doh!]

Saw this interesting fish out at St Cats on Sunday, it was around 6m as we were heading in and doing our safety stop. Can't find it in my book and not too sure where else to look, can anyone here hazard a guess or a definitive ID for this fish?

Nice work folks and good link dive3, I didn't get a chance to search the marlin site during my lunch break.

Nice one! Yeah, definately a lumpsucker, I love those fish :) I'd never seen anything less graceful underwater than me until I saw one of those (and I've tripped backwards over a boulder...).
