ID on Longhorn Sculpin

[curry]

Not sure if this is one, but I did a bit of research and this seems to be what it is. Any ideas? He's about 2.5 inches.
I picked it up in one of my minnow traps when I went fishing for blue fish one day. I asked the local guys and they weren't sure.
I took him home and added him to my SW tank which contains local stuff, nothing tropical.
Area collected - Zachs Bay / Jones Beach. Long Island, NY

his response to a pm:
seems like a Myoxocephalus aenaeus to me. Za Sculpins haha. Very common around this area. We also catch them in our minnow traps. Hope that helps!!
