Unknown Fish

I have a small black fish in my pond that I can't identify. It is approx 4 inches long and has 'bug eyes' that are quite different from the sarassa comets and goldfish. They actually bulge out to the side, giving it a hammerhead look. Reminds me of a large version of the algae eaters we used to buy for the kids aquariums. I know the fry are often black or dark but this guy is truly black I think. I have several of 2-3 inch goldfish fry right now as well.

So, can anyone identify and does this one stay or should he go? If he's an algae eater of some sort, he's welcome to invite his cousins over for a big meal. I hope one of these photos works...I haven't used photobucket in a while.
