Hi, I got three of these cats from my lfs (the one on top in the pictures) and they were listed as synodontis, but I have no idea which one. Can someone please help me identify them? Thank You.

Not a Synodontis sp.

Pimelodus Pictus looks to be the right one. Thank you very much.

I would definitely say its a pictus from Colombia.
There is also another pictus from Peru, but it has more spots.
