I would say roseyface, though the anal fin looks a little too concave to me and I even think the caudal peduncle height is a little large.

Without holding it in my hands I'd venture Notropis atherinoides, emerald shiner, by edge scale pigmentation (darker and more defined), mouth angle and distance from eye (upturned and tip of lips closer to eye), dorsal fin origin over anal fin origin (dorsal is relatively close to the anal fin), and body depth to length ratio (fatter in atherinoides = less length to depth). I've seen a decent number of streams in which every fish had some reddish coloration, especially the catostomids and cyprinids; probably a food availability thing. Wish i could collect with you all and have fun,

Yeah that is why even mid post I started to lean to antheroides....

Yeah, after a second look I'll concede to atherinoides too. Short snout, appears to have 11 anal rays, little pigment along lateral line, curved margin of anal fin........ just shows that southerners should stay out of midwestern minnow discussions
