These were captured and released in Northern Tenneessee (Cumberland River Drainage). Any help would be greatly appreciated in identification.

Telescope?
Seeing the tail / caudal spot would help.
And the dorsal.
Silver Shiners are hard.

A poor view of the fins doesn't help, but maybe striped shiner, Luxilus chrysocephalus? That would account for the reddish brown in the caudal, and a lemony lateral stripe, and the dorsal and lateral scale shape looks right.

Photos deleted until some more suitable ones can be taken. Thanks for the input!
