Hi chachaman50,

I'm not certain, but I believe your pleco is a Peckoltia, perhaps
Peckoltia brevis
... Just a guess, I'm not sure.

Hopefully someone else will confirm.

Cheers, Eric

I'd say
L205
and not
Peckoltia brevis
just as that is what the much more likelier species to find and the former has sparser, smaller spotting on the head.
