New bumblebee catfish, Asian or SA?

Grabbed this dude from one of the small local chains, labled as a bumblebee goby(because the place is run by idiots). They had a few 'different' looking bumblebee cats in the tank along with about 15 tiny Raphael. I grabbed this bigger dude. I assumed he was SA but a few people on FB insist he looks Asian. All help is appreciated. Sorry for the dinner pics but ya know, bumblebee.

Sounds good. I've actually never seen bumblebee in my local stores before so I was wondering what prompted their sudden arrival everywhere. Also scored a young snakeskin gourami from them (labled as a female DG). I'm here for it. Feel like I should have gotten some of the Raphael's too.
