My guess is pike.

 

As was said, juveniles make it tough to distinguish. The pore count would probably be the most effective determination.

It's a young pike, I've caught dozens that size with identical markings and color. Dark body, light markings = pike. Light body, dark markings = muskie.

Like Scott F said, small northerns often have connected spots that can appear as a stripe. This fish is without a doubt 100% northern pike. The coloration is perfect, but the pattern is a bit misleading due to the age of the pike.
