Looks it, but cant be 100% sure.

It's got to much orange to be a common or if it is, it's a brightly coloured fish

But I think it's an L001
 
Looks like P. pardalis to me (common)

they are being bred now with red/orange in their fins

more photos will help

That's quite interesting, never realised.
How are they going about getting these colours?
 
Dunno really, selective with the parents perhaps or just natural variance.

Saw a batch of gibbys in an LFS before i left the UK that all had red fins.
 
I stand by my original id still, a common imo.

Does look very skinny tho, needs a good feed or 4.
 
seconed pic dose look like a common, but i have to say it's got good colour
 
I believe it is a common because I have 3 and they turn that color under certain lighting.
 
That does look like a common. The pattern looks more like a common rather than a leopard. This is my common pleco
