Help Identifying?

With smaller spots on the head compared to the body, I would say Synodontis lucipinnis, often missold as S. petricola.
 
There are an awful lot of syno hybrids around these days sadly, so it might pay to get some clear photos to upload and present them on PlanetCatfish, where professional catfish ichthyologists and syno enthusiasts can offer their opinion.
 
S. lucipinnis stays quite small for a syno at ~10cm excluding their tail, pretty social too, you will see far more of them by having a group of 6+ providing your tank is of a suitable size and stocking. Lots of places to hide amongst bogwood and secure rock formations will also make them more confident, just like with other fish such as Kuhli Loaches.
