california or steller? (WA)

hi! this was my first stranding call, and we ended up labeling this as a california sea lion (for some reason everyone took my word for it). 117 inches in length from snout to tail, male, belly-up. i’m only having second thoughts because of the size, whisker color, and nose shape, could someone help me identify? thank you!!
