Yes that's a Spottail shiner (the southern Atlantic slope variety). Ironcolor is much smaller, with a more prominent and wider black stripe. Search "ironcolor" in the forum search box and you'll find Dustin's photos comparing Ironcolor vs Dusky shiner; those two are confusing but are both quite different from Spottail. Swallowtail is the most likely SC shiner to get confused with Spottail.

Agree with Gerald. Swallowtails never get nearly that big so that can be eliminated but they look very similar when smaller.

You are very close to me there. Are you located in the Columbia area? If so, are you interested in getting out some time. My son and I get out to poke around a couple times a month. Out of curiosity, what is the state DNT?
