It appears to be a Darter.

I don't know my darters very well, there are several species through out the united states alone.

It's a North American darter of the genus Etheostoma. Possibly E. nianguae from Big Tavern Creek, MO or E. osburni from Greenbrier River, WV.

NANFA might possibly pin it down better for you.
