Thanks. My mistake. In the message from a long time age it is about pinkish
whitetail from Tennessee drainage. I assumed the pic of pink face whitetail in
Fishes of Arkansas book is from either AR or MO. Anyway more detail of both your
Hiwassee whitetail and one in the old message is welcomed. By the way I
remembered reading in Fishes of Tennessee book that Tennessee shiner [leucoides?]
from Hiwassee may be distinct from other Tennessee shiner. Any detail?

The absolutely hottest male galactura( from Tenn. drainages)get a pinkish
coloration. Beautiful, but no red. Don't know about Ozark ones, but I'd be
surprised if they get any red.
