Definately male and Hypancistrus. Without knowing the source (tank bred or wild + catch location) would probably label as L066 as even though its similar to L399 / L400 it has the straight line patterns on the fins. Really difficult with these without knowing the source. I have one that is almost identical to the bottom photo of the fish caving and after much searching I have concluded that L066 is the best label for him.....a particularly pretty one

This could mean yours his a hybrid. there are several different "locational" variants of the L333 which could indeed be different species. Hypancistrus are known to hybridize, so given the breeder bought a "black and white L333" and a "porto de maz L333", the fish could be deemed hybrid.
