Pumpkinseed is the only option. Its not a redbreast, bluegill, longear or green and those are the only other Lepomis found in New York.
red ears have been stocked in the Great lakes, MI, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and a few lakes in south western NY is could be possible they found there way into this system

Remarks: Robison and Buchanan (1988) reported redear sunfish as widely stocked in Arkansas in ponds and reservoirs, presumably in native waters. Menhinick (1991) listed this species as "regarded as native but possibly introduced" and "introduced" into the Catawba, Yadkin, Lumber, and Waccamaw drainages. Stauffer et al. (1995) differed with other authors (Lee et al. 1980 et seq. and Jenkins and Burkhead 1994) in reporting this species as native to the Potomac, Big Sandy, Kanawha, and Little Kanawha drainages, and Ohio basin. No records exist for New York (Whittier and Hartel 1997).

The reason it lists the blue pike is because the blue pike did live in NY, regardless if its extinct or not. Even still, your link does not include NY as a state that redears live in. Here is another source to prove my point...

That pretty much puts this to bed.
