It's out of focus, so hard to make out. I would agree with "not a platy" because it doesn't have the upward turned mouth.
Could you include an approximate size, or a better photo? (I know, my fish don't stay still to have their photos taken either!)
ADDITION: Have you looked up ticto or odessa barbs? (going by the spot on the tail) Tetras would have an adipose (fatty tissue) fin behind the dorsal: http://www.plantgeek.net/images/glossary/adipose.jpg
Or clown barb: http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/443.htm
ADDITION 2: I guess it's a gold barb: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgXRWbWL4kGk2YFlcDtuaE7ty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071013173055AArid0e&show=7#profile-info-JhTAInYNaa

It is not a platy, i have some in my tank as we speak, it looks like it may be a form of goldfish, but you should try and get a little better pic of it
