I am far from an expert, but to me it looks more like an hypancistrus than a peckoltia. Might be L129?

I concur. Not only does it LOOK like a Hypancistrus, but also is from Rio Orinoco in Colombia, so it matches the export location too.

So, unless one of the REAL experts disagree, I'd call it L129.
