Picked this little chap up today, but not toally sure on its ID,
Shop had it labelled as Peckoltia vittata, im not convinced

Edit, bag pic gone, tank pics included

If its been in a bag for a while, its stress colours will come out a lot more which can make it more difficult to ID. Can you get any pics of it in the tank?
 
See original post, updated pics included
 
Ive been looking at L205, thinking it may be a juvi.
 
If you can get some pics of its underside when its stuck to the tank glass and some pics of it with its sail fin upright then that would help a great deal in ID'ing as there are a lot of pleco's that look very similar when veiwed relaxed, but their underside patterns in particular and sail fins tend to be a lot more distinct and can help a great when ID'ing pleco's :nod: .
It does look similar to the L205, but i'm not convinced yet- as i said though, underside and sail fin pics with help a great deal if you can get them :thumbs: .
edit: It looks very similar to the L208;
