The two darters that have been collected from Stevens Creek:
Etheostoma nigrum and Etheostoma spectabile.

Other darters from Sangamon River drainage: western sand darter, mud
darter, bluntnose darter, faintail darter, slough darter, banded
darter, logperch, blackside darter, and slenderhead darter.

You can rule out... western sand darter, faintail darter, logperch,
blackside darter, and slenderhead darter. My guess would be banded
darter, bluntnose darter, or slough darter, but I would need to see a
better picture. If you are in the C-U area before Wed (or after Dec
1), stop by and I will be happy to tell you what it is.
