Default Sub panel question

Need a little help, main panel and sub-panel next to each other new construction. Shouldn't the grounded and ungrounded conductors be separated with the grounded conductors floating?

Thanks

They look like they both might be service panels. They look like they're both fed from outdoors, presumably from the same meter can or meter can load side gutter. Got any outdoor pics?

I see enough to do the same as Marc said, more photos please.

Pure guessing, since need more photos.
The sub does looke bonded, and it shouldn't.
The main panel has a bonding ring, so is there an outside disconnect?
