You're sharp :)

Bump.

If not confirm the ID for sure, at least share some ID thoughts, please.

Don't think so. I think the snout is too round and I'm not seeing the whiskers that are readily visible in other images.

Thank you. These are some of my doubts as well but it'd be nice to have expert's thoughts.

It could be, but could equally be H. wyckoides or some other congener with white barbles - I can't really see the caudal.
