RE: Shiner ID, 2018 version
Thanks. Our esteemed ID expert, Muskiebait, identified it as an emerald on Facebook. The main reason was the mouth shape much more closely resembling an emerald than a mimic. He also says he sees 9 anal rays, so it is a bit of a mutant. Emerald shiners are apparently the most common species of any fish in Lake Simcoe, and I caught a couple others in the same spot that are 100% emeralds, so I'll concede that this one isn't a mimic (but I know where they are).
And yes, this particular fish sat still in the micro tank for me for a clear pic. Normally they squirm and flop and I have to take a dozen or so pics just to get one decent one.
