Caught this darter about a week ago in a small tributary to the Scioto River just south of Columbus OH. I am fairly confident in what this guy is but it was an interesting catch so I wanted to share it and see what some others think it is...

"zonalioides" ??? OK, maybe just a goofy colored greenside. The narrow bars made me think he might have some zonale in his past.

That is too cool Brian. I've only seen two hybrid darters and have only managed a decent photo of one of them. Very fascinating, and great shot! Thanks for sharing!
