It looks like it's a bit swollen/bloated. However, it's hard to tell from the photo what the fish really looks like. Could be [but I'm by far not sure]
, or perhaps a
species.

It's not a great photo & it has characters of many different fish - any chance of a couple of better photos? a mouth shot would probably help enormously.
It vaguely reminds me of an argentinian horned toad (head)
but it seems to have large pectorals & the dorsal is down, maybe one of the pleco regulars might be able to give you an ID.
Can you also ease off the capitals please - it's not considered best practice in forums

That's an L52, most likely. Possible a large ugly L168, but I lean towards 52.
