Guys, please help me ID this one. I got it from a LFS last month, who labeled it L136b. Doesn't look like it though.

The body looks like Contradens but the spot pattern doesn't. I've not seen spots that close and irregular to one another on a contradens. And the spot color doesn't quite fit either.

Thank you! I do agree with you because I do have a hypan contradens and its pattern and colouration is definitely far from this one. The closest this one resembles is the L201 or Orinoco Angel Pleco. What do you think?

contradens can have yellow spots (see image 23 on the clog). I have also seen them spaced out like yours are.
According to Ingo Seidel's book L201 tends to be more finely spotted than contradens, not the other way around.
