My best guess would either be corydoras ambiacus or corydoras agassizii.

The more I look at this one the more unsure I'm becoming!!
Maybe you should repost this in the What's my Catfish? section, to get more opinions!

What do you look for to distinguish among C. delphax, C. ambiacus, and C. agassizii?

Well, fullt adult delphax generally lose their spots and are quite easy to distinguish.
Also, male delphax have black on their first soft dorsal ray which is usually elongated further than the main dorsal spine.
c. agassizii and ambiacus are very difficult to distinguish because the patterning is so varied between them, so place of origin is the only reliable method.
I did think that agassizii had a rounder snout than ambiacus but apparantly not always the case!!

Jorge,
Please do not cross post. I deleted your duplicate posting in the "What's my Catfish" forum.
I can move this thread there if you'd like but the duplicate is a waste of bandwidth.

Sorry, that was my fault as I was the one that suggested it.
As we are all intrigued to know what species these are, it may be a good idea to move it into it's proper and relevant section anyway.
Sorry again!!
