I think this could also be Cochliodon sp. "Paraguay" from Rio Negro.
I'm not a expert, I just thought this one looks a lot like yours.
Nice fish!

I agree with Sanplec. It's the spitting image of Hypostomus/Cochliodon sp. Paraguay from Ingo Seidel's book.

Thanks,

From the Cat-elog this species is labelled as an L310 and LDA051.

It also states they are similar to L137 from the Rio Tapajos and similar to L310 from Bahia, but no mention of paraguay. Is this just something that is missing or is the wrong species

I shall update it to say LDA051 is from Paraguay, L310 from Rio Cuiaba in Brazil.
