What kind of a sucker is this? From a creek in Southwestern Ontario. Is it a stone roller? Thanks for the help. He is about 4" long.

Here's another picture. Now that I look at it I think it's a hognose.

Doesn't look like a hognose sucker to me, the head is not the right shape (Riverslick calls 'em "box head trout")... and definitely not a stoneroller, look at the placement and shape of the anal fin (far back and somewhat elongate)... so I think some kind of sucker, but would have to look more at what is available in your area.
