Is it possible to decide what is a gpg file?

When I try this with gpg2 I get the following:

gpg2 bunsen_honeydew.jpg.gpg
gpg: error reading key: No public key

I get the same result with a file encrypted to a public key (as this
one was) and with a symmetrically encrypted file.

Am I doing something wrong here?
