Delphinus delphis
There are two species of Delphinus, however it may be challenging to distinguish between them in the field: Short-beaks may be slightly longer, have a rounder heads and shorter beaks. The dark eye is clearly visible on a light background. The dark dorsal is distinctly separated from the white-yellow sides and belly. There is NO dark eye-anus stripe.

And up close. We rented a boat, and were lucky enough to get close to several pods.
How cool that you got to watch them!
