It looks like a hybrid shovelnose to me.

there are a few different species of shovel nose, i have never owned one because i dont have the space, but they are my favorite of all the cats. no matter what type, they all get huge and have appetites to match. from what i have read anything that is small enough and somtimes things that arent end up getting eaten. nice fish, good luck.
