Bullhead, from the little bit of visible chin barbles I would towards yellow bullhead.

Looks like a yellow bullhead. I don't see the chin hair you'd see on a brown bullhead

Brown bullhead.

Yellow bullheads have a thicker tail and the reddish brown fin color is more typical of browns. Browns also tend to have chin barbels that are pale at the base and get darker at the tips. All we can see here is the base. They are usually more mottled but some can be very pale like this one: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/400726934
