I am not good with identity of native shiners out of my region, unless I can get them under a dissection microscope. Too many different shiner species in other regions of the US such as Florida. HOWEVER, since you happened to get a good close photo, AND it is a pond spawner AND due to the deeply decurved lateral line my opinion is golden shiner.
