Looking at pictures I think it's a Corydoras schwartzi species...

It is not a C. schwartzi, but could be one of three, either C. agassizi; C. ambiacus, young C. delfax or C. sp C157. There are quite few species turning up in the hobby with this type of colour pattern and without knowing the catching location it is almost impossible to accurately put the right name to them.

It is not a young C. delfax.. I know this because it is already a rather big fish. Thank you for your reply!
