This is Hypancistrus contradens (=big spot)
L201 has small spots

spot size is very variable and cannot be used to differentiate 201 from contradens alone. Based on body shape (flat), and the spacing between spots, I'd call this L201.

I second this. Its still a nice find, seems like all you see anymore is Contradens.
