The crappie in Utah are Black Crappie. You will see wide variation in coloring depending on the water and the changes brought on by spawning in the spring. I've caught some at Lake Powell that were males very solid black in color during the spring spawn. You'll also see very pale colored females.
The White Crappie have a more barred pattern on their sides and there are other subtle differences.
If you check out my profile you'll see a photo of a real nice 15 inch black crappie caught at Lake Powell a few years ago.
