I'll put a vote in for goldeye as I don't see an adipose fin and the mouth structure and scales look off to be a rocky to me

Default chub
many peaple confuse the chub and rockies... however if it is found in a river in the foothills and mountians... most likely a rocky.... ifits found in the prairies or a fair distance from the foothills.... most likely chub.... hope that helps.
