We also have some Pumpkin seeds but not as common. Thanks MT bowhunter. Been getting a few minnows for some fishing in small crick. I have seen them before but never paid much attention to what they were. Really a beautiful fish. Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

Bad photo, but I would call in a juvenile pumpkinseed sunfish. Seen many thousand of them. Absolutely not a green sunfish or a bluegill. When the pumpkinseed get bigger, they get pretty blue markings on their face. I find them strongly associated with aquatic vegetation here in Ohio. Where you find weeds, you can find them in good numbers.
