I bought this fish at Walmart when I first started my tank in April. They were selling it as a Cory. I’m questioning that now due to the size of fish. I have never seen one this big before. When I bought it it was about 1 inch in size.

I can barely see it but I think it’s a pleco. Can you take a pic with lights on?
 
Looks like some type of Synodontis catfish, possibly a feather fin?
 
I concur with @betta fish, it looks like a Synodontis catfish.

Here is a picture of one I found on Google

I've just been looking through Synodontis images to see if I could match it. We need a clearer photo to ID it properly.
 
It looks like a cross breed maybe? I do agree, @Mike Brinson, we need a clearer picture to properly ID your fish.
 
Now we know what it is, one other comment.
When you bought it, you thought it was a cory (Walmart's fault), but are you aware that all cories are shoaling fish? If you want to get cories at some point, you need at least 6 of them.

Yeah I bought to help cycle the tank along with bacteria in bottle. At the time I bought 3 cories 1 died a few days latter.
