Fish slice? Spatula? Or something else?

I'm in the US, and most people I know call it a spatula but I have heard some people just call it a "flipper"
In my home a spatula was always a tool with a flat rubber end, so this thing is a flipper. What do you call the rubber headed thing that you scrape bowls out with?
Do you mean something like this?
I just call them rubber spatulas, despite the fact that the one I have is made of silicone lol
I'm my home, we have a variety of spatulas. Rubber spatula - both "no the big one" and "no the little one"; metal spatulas include: "my favorite"/"the sharp one", "the big shitty one", and "the curvy one"; and irregulars such as "the big offset", "that stupid orange one", and "the icing spatt".
A scraper.
A rubber spatula or "the good one, I need to get all the sauce out of this pan".
Actually we speak French and English 50/50 because Montreal, and in French it actually has a name "Une Maryse", which is defined as: "a rubber spatula".

Turner seems widely used in product listings. I've always said spatula, but there's a bit of ambiguity between this type of spatula and a rubber spatula of the type used to scrape sides of mixing bowls and such.
I've never heard anyone call it a turner, but again that may have more to do with where I live. As a kid the item in OPs picture was the only thing we called a spatula. I didn't even see a rubber scraper style spatula until I was in high school I think lol
I honestly don't think I've heard turner IRL either. Just happened to notice it a lot when I was shopping for one on Amazon. Rubber spatula gets a lot of use if you bake, though.
