It was caught in Neshaminy Creek, Bucks County, PA. I originally had it as a spottail shiner, but now I am doubting my initial identification.

That looks like a spottail to me.

I'll vote spottail too. That one looks similar to NC spottails. Atlantic drainage spottails have a more prominent stripe than the Great Lakes / Ohio / Miss basin ones, which are more silvery. Juveniles in NC look a lot like swallowtails (procne) and often school together with them, but once they get to the size of that one they're pretty distinctive.

I'm also thinking spottail, but the two look pretty different.
