There is a picture of the fish in question as per the link below.  My comment was...
 
Corydoras adolfoi also known as the Adolfo's Cory is one of my favourite Cory.  Mine does not appear to have the orange on the snout, only behind the black band and when I have looked at pics of this Cory, they do not appear to have the orange in front of the black band, i.e. on the snout, so I am a little confused .  Is there a Cory expert out there that can confirm is this is an Adolfoi or another variation?
 
Can anyone help?

Do you have one bronze cory and one of the other cory?

Yes he does, if you see his post he rescued the Bronze, has been advised to get more of the same Cory.

Looks like you have a Corydoras melini (Bandit Cory)
 
Thanks Shaddex, but not sure it is a Bandit, as the black line does not come down to the base of the tail as it does in a Bandit.
 
Just noticed that.
 
Does look like a Adolfoi without the orange bits.
 
Maybe its just not developed its colors yet..
 
It's more likely to be C.duplicarous.... the most noticeable difference tends to be the much broader black line down the spine.
