Mines a brown. I checked the horn, spot and tail. His looked like mine. If I would of looked better I would of noticed his tails are the same.

Not trying to argue on the internet, just saying those are both white shrimp in the OP’s picture.

Both brown and pink shrimp have grooves along the dorsal surface of the head (down the base of the rostrum) and the last tail segment, white shrimp do not. It can be seen in the pix below, and felt with a fingernail very clearly even on small shrimp. In addition to the grooves, pink shrimp have a very distinct spot on the tail.

This link helps a bit, but my ID comes from at least a hundred thousand personal observations. http://www.dnr.sc.gov/marine/pub/seascience/shrimpsc.html
