I am still no closer to identification.

Aparently this plec had red lips and a red stripe on its dorsal fin.

Somebody must know???

I think Janne was probably right before, there's a good chance it's the brook ple co L238. I can find no other fish that even slightly resembles yours.

I think you mentioned before that you were trying to get plecos for a discus tank (no easy chore), and from it's common name I'd guess this fish would not do well in 85 degree discus water. I'd try starting a new topic in the Loricariidae forum asking which plecos have been proven to do well w/ discus, as I'm sure the list is quite short. Hope this helps some anyway.
