Found this darter in a creek in southern Wisconsin, the beloit area. Since it isn't spring they aren't all colored up so I'm unsure if I've got some rainbow darter or orange throat darter or something different. Here's two different pics of the same darter

Looks like a banded darter to me.

Agree E. zonale I dont think too many others have such green bands underneath like that...

thank you both for the identification assistance. I just ordered the book American Darters so hopefully I'll be able to identify them myself moving forward. Nice to kn ow I have this forum to rely on when that fails though
