Yeah I'd say it's a Bigeye. It's harder to tell with smaller ones, but it definitely looks like one. The size of the eye was the first thing I noticed but also bigeyes also have this mark or indention over the gills that common threshers do not have and that shark has that marking in both pics.

Bigeye:


Those drawings are of adults and they look more alike when small but just from his pics I'd say there is a pretty fair chance it is a bigeye T.

At any rate I emailed same of my shark buddies who study these things and I'll see what they think.
