Panaque? Peckoltia? Need positive ID.

We're hoping to get a positive ID on this pleco, using a rather poor photo. Please go here:

I'm leaning towards either
Panaque maccus or L204.
What do you think?

Changae.

I'd be hard pushed to ID that fish - if Jon is certain, then I'm not going to say against it. But I can certainly say that it's NOT L204. I would guess
if I had a gun held at my head - but I'd have a 25% chance of ending up dead at that point, I'd say...

Hi,
I`d agree with Jon.
It is a little difficult to see the head markings, but if it looks close to this one
it´s pretty likely a Panaqolus (Panaque for you, I believe) Changae.

Thanks, all. I will go with what
Jon says, too. We don't see
changae in my area, so it's not easily recognizable to me. The guy who owns the fish actually lives in the UK, so it's more likely he'd get hold of one.
Good ID! (And close enough - he just wants care requirements.)
Thanks for the images,
Borbi, and
Mats, I want to assure you no weapons were used to procure an ID for this fish!
