When you search "baby leeches" a forum question comes up, and the folks there identify something that looks exactly like this is a Planaria flatworm. https://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/40506-anyone-know-what-these-are/

Planaria have triangular heads like in the link you posted, I agree with the others that OP's PIC is a leach.
