Close... Not a rock gunnel, but a banded gunnel... Pholis fasciata. The color & pattern on rock gunnels (especially that size) is much more pronounced, additionally they don't have the bars on the dorsal/anal fins... they have a row of black spots.

*** Edit... I lied... I just checked the range, and banded's seem to be much more northernly. Gunnel for sure, doesn't look like a rock, but it must be as that's the only species in the range. Only other thing I can think of is a juvie wrymouth.

Color depends on bottom where it lives.
