Maybe an American plaice? They have some yellow underneath as well sometimes... Or maybe a sand dab (windowpane), but those are pretty distinctive....

Winters sometimes get yellow on the belly, but I don't think I've seen one that's yellow all the way around it? Yellowtails pretty much always have some yellow on the ventral side of the peduncle.. But can't say I've ever noticed a defined ring of color.

And interestingly enough, the lemon sole I've heard of (Microstomus kitt) doesn't look anything like the one MM posted... But those are overseas. They look almost identical to winter flounder, but have a narrow tail rather than a wide one. His looks like a Dover... But I don't know for sure.

All the HW I can do says that lemon sole is just another common name for winter flounder. Go figure.
