Yup, it's a manta ray I think. They often have features that we see as human-like. This'll be the only time in my life I use the Daily Mail as a source...it's just for an example...Wh o are you calling fish-face?!

That i have seen before, but it looks like something in Australia we would call a shovelnose ray.

here is the mouth



and here is the topside




But there are many different species of this ray so it could be different from the one in the pic.

Edit to add, thats not a manta ray, totally different species.

I believe this is an Atlantic Guitarfish.

Not a particularly rare member of the order rajiformes.
