looks like 8 anal fin rays and snout not pronounced and pointy..looks pretty blunt
Edit: Uland start taking dorsal shots of these silvery things sometimes this can easily distinguish some species..

Me thinks Mimic... (Might be wrong though) just my 2 cents

I also count 8 anal rays but there was a faint wedge at the dorsal fin but no dorsal stripe. I really need to work in distinguishing Sand & Mimic shiner.
I'll work this winter on a device for good dorsal shots on live specimens (wish me luck).

Did I ever send you that paper where they designed a photo tank that would take dorsal and lateral shots at the same time using mirrors? I know I mentioned it...
Well if I did not send it I'll hunt it back down and get this to you... Redbelly dace study if I remember.

Maybe
I said sand shiner but my sloppy photo technique doesn't help much
Taken From mid Sangamon River yesterday.

The fish sampled from Aux Sable Creek, Grundy county Illinois (trib of the Illinois river) is situated above the BSF fish which is presumably a mimic shiner.
I guess I'm curious to know if this helps the discussion in any way.
