It's one of the bullhead species. But there is NO sure way to be 100% postive which bullhead species it is unless you show the bottom part of it. What I mean is, when compared to a black bullhead the yellow bullhead is virtually identical except for ONE feature. The barbels or "whiskers" under the lower jaw of the Black bullhead is BLACK and on the Yellow bullhead it is White/Yellowish in color (definitely not even close to black). The brown bullhead tends to have more of a mottled pattern all over its body. Moreover, there are several sub-variants of the bullheads. Those guys aren't too common to find/catch because their range is either too small for any significance or nobody writes about them. But your pic is most likely to be either a Black or Yellow Bullhead. If you want to be sure, send in another pic of the bottom barbels or make the determination yourself. Hope you're enjoying it! By the way, those cories you have in the bucket will be eaten in within several months if the bullheads haven't already done that.
