I'll say Notropis atherinoides

That is a good guess since these two fishes look quite similar but it is not emerald shiner.

I'm tempted to give a clue but don't want to spoil the fun.

Is it a Rosyface Shiner??? That's my best guess so far...

That eye is HUGE

That along with the location I'd have to say N. amabilis

Good job. It's in your court, and I'm out for the weekend.
