I got these as Lower Rio Xingu Hypans.
Just want to get everyone's expert opinion on what they might be.
Thanks in advance for y'alls input.

They look more like very mature Peckoltia compta AKA L134 AKA Leopard Frog Pleco to me.
Possibly very yellow L333 but I don't think so.

At first glance they look a lot like Peckoltia Compta that I have but they are hypans.
Probably L333 with forked tails?

L333s, could be variant Porto do Moz.

Whilst is quite variable, I'm pretty sure this is NOT L134. Regular L333 or "Porto De Moz" variant seems to be a match.
