In california any rainbow that goes to the ocean and back into river systems and is over 16 inches in length are steelhead.

I thought it looked like a rainbow as well. You are correct about trout being classified as steelhead in the regulations if they are over 16 inches, in rivers with sea going fish. But i also believe not all the trout decide to travel to the sea. Either way its a great fish!
