Oop, doesn't look anything like a C. Trilineatus now.
I'm not quite sure what it is.

Jeff,
It looks like napoensis, but I agree with Mark a better photo would help.

My monitor doesn't have the best resolution, so I'm actually just guessing. From what I can see, the lines aren't defined enough for napoensis. I'm thinking maybe a bilineatus, aka san juan cory.

The identity of the fish aside, your new acquisition doesn't look too healthy, as I can see a red patch on the base of the dorsal fin.

I have found this kind of problem occurs more so with Corys that have been transported when pure oxygen has been put into the bag.
Melafix is very good if you have access to it. It is an organic product and I have found it very good at treating the so called red blotch disease.
