Looks like Catfish bait! I believe it appears to be a pumpkinseed.
And sometimes called a flyer.
Think you are correct. Here is a pic of one.

Sure looks like a pumpkinseed to me, too. Definitely not a flier. Where they coexist with either green sunfish or bluegills, they will hybridize with either them, too, and then it gets tough to identify whether or not you have the pure species, but even then you can usually tell whether there is pumpkinseed in the mix or not. They are about as pretty a fish as we have in North American waters.
