Yeah, it is a crappie. I just have little experience with them in Connecticut.
From Wikipedia:
Other names for crappie are papermouths, strawberry bass, specks, speckled perch, calico bass (throughout New England)[9], sac-au-lait (in southern Louisiana, lit "bag of milk")[10] and Oswego bass.
I've actually caught a few, just never made the connection. I think this one will make an excellent addition to my two slightly larger pumpkinseeds.
