Looks like
Corydoras similis
to me, but I could be wrong, as the picture isn't very clear with regards to the spots, and I'm not sure how much of a spot it has just by top of the caudal peduncle.

It has black patch markings on the eye & spots on the tail. I'll try to shoot a clearer pic but it's not easy as this guy is really active going about my tank.

I hope to ID my cory as I've never seen this markings before also. Been keeping a tight watch on him. Re-structuring my tank completely now...when it's all done up I'll put in some wild caught corys. :twisted:
