What fish is this?

Anyone know what fish this is? I say fathead minnow but it seems to be
bigger than the 3 1/2" max and I think I saw a 5" one.

Sorry, I failed to say where it was caught. It's in western PA in a
freshwater pond.

Looks to me like a common chub, also called creek chub - found in still
& moderately moving waters all over the northeast.

I had a fish biologist ID it for me. It is a creek chub. Looks like
Pete H. nailed this one.
