HI,
Have a look at Corydoras leucomelas.

Most of them do look like leucomelas, but I have my doubts about the last pic. The fish in the last pick looks a bit more robust, and the pattern seems different.

I wonder if its possible we are seeing a contaminant in picture #4?
Most all of the fish look like C. leucomelas to me,
There is another cory besides the leucomelas in the second picture down, looks like something like a C. elegans type?
Picture # 4 shows a similar Cory with larger spots on the left of what may be a C. leucomelas on the right under an oak leaf. Did you buy them all together and are they W.C ? One of my suppliers currently has a large batch of wild caught leucomelas that they are selling as Corydoras cf.agassizi (Colombia) So a lot of these spotted Corydoras get all kinds of trade names. Nice fish regardless, I have some and enjoy them.

hi, thanks for the speedy i.d.
yes they are wild caught fish and there is one elegans in the second shot, the fish on the left in the fourth shot is different i don't have a clue, there are a few like it in the batch with similar markings, larger spots and the black marking on the dorsal breaks before it continues down onto the body, it is not really clear in the picture i posted, i will try take another one tonight and post it
again, thanks for the help guys

The odd one in the last picture looks a little like C. ambiacus.

two more pics of the fish that was in the bottom pic, i just noticed that it has a metalic green color on its flank in parts and in the second picture you can see the dorsal spot a bit clearer
