Present size (SL) may help and any catchment location. Whip tails either Sturisoma or Sturisomatichthys species can be a tad difficult to properly identify from alone photograph. Photographs of the ventral surface can also help with identity.
My inkling though is towards
Sturisomatichthys aureus
I ‘Doc I can’t stop singing The Green, Green Grass of Home’
“That sounds like Tom Jones syndrome.
‘Is it common?’
“It’s not unusual.” :YMTONGUE:
