Default Fuel Pump Fitting Question

Does anyone know the size of this fitting for the fuel pump? I searched but found many different opinions on the size.

The fitting in the picture is a 5/16 flare by 1/8 pipe elbow. This is for most engines. The performance engines normally have a 3/8 flare

It's 1/4" NPT where it screws into the pump.
