It's not a Peckoltia sp. and the body shape/patterning isn't right for Z.pulcher.. So my best guess is it's a quite vibrant example of . None of the pics I've seen match this fish exactly for color but the pattern is a perfect match.
Nice fish!

I think the pattern is more like Panaque sp. (L002). Except the base colour of the ones I've seen is orange/yellow rather than white.

That's a young, pale, L002.

After looking at a few more I see the L002 now, quite a variable fish. I was curious about a sure way to tell the difference though, finer lines on L226?

Hi!

Yes head pattern thinner and more complexed/reticulated on Panaque changae (L226) than on Panaque sp L02!
Cheers
