I think it's a bristle nose but not sure it came with some fish from a person wanting to close his tank down 
 
I should have added it's about 3 or 4 inches long

I'll try to get one it took me hours to get this  he doesn't come out in the open very often 
 
Could be a common pleco, ive seen another member on here with the same coloration and he said it was a common, but i cant be sure.
 
Most likely a female bristle nose. For sure not a common pleco.
 
managed to get a couple of pics with the fin up

Yea I'd say definitely a common, not a bristle nose.
What size tank do you have him in?

I can see he's going to become a problem the tamk is only 120cm   but it's got a lot of other fish in with him  
 
I cant tell whether that is a common or a sailfin. Good pics though but they look so similar its virtually inpossible to tell
 
The fins don't look long enough to be a sail fin.
He will outgrow your tank easily, I suggest rehousing him, they get to about 2ft long and it may bully all bottom feeders.
