Brown Tiny Fish With Wings

Our first fish comes to us from someone in Louisiana...

I recently went crabbing along the Gulf Coast and while we were there we saw this funny looking little fish just laying there on the bank. I have asked all I know about it and people that live around here don't have a clue. I was wondering if you knew what it is. It would take me forever to go through the list considering I don't even know where to start.

Any info about it or if you could give me an idea where to start searching, any help will be appreciated.Can you name this fish?

Update: This fish appears to be a species of Gurnard fish, still not sure which one though?  Please help!
