Hi,

certainly not, those two originate from southern Peru, Madre de Dios drainage. C. metae comes from Colombia.
IMHO it's an aeneus variant without any C or CW number.
CW096 is a member of the elegans group and therefore completely excluded.

Cheers,

This fish looks very much like CW026, reportedly coming from Venezuela, but the exact location is not known.
For the record the genus name is Corydoras not Corydora. It is the same for multiple or single fish.
