You can't use "-U" or similar switches when you've selected IDENT
authentication --- the whole point of that auth method is that your
Postgres userid must be the same as your logged-in Unix userid.

If this is not what you want, select another auth method in
pg_hba.conf.

Or if you want to get tricky, you can play around with an ident
map file.  See the documentation.
