This is a male shiner in full spawning array.    The bumps on his head are tubercles which he uses to defend his territory. 

1/250 @ f9.0 @ 60mm (120mm eq)

Thank you for looking!

Excellent, Kevin.  You sure are making a large collection of macro freshwater creatures that few pay attention too. 

You have to do a book!
