Hard to say from that photo. A side on photo showing the whole fish would help a lot.

is a common species, but fish in this group are terribly hard to identify, and colour is of no use at all, since they can change colour due to mood and environment.

And of course, if we get to see the whole fish, it may even turn out that the genus of Rineloricaria is incorrect.

I see nothing to CHANGE my guess - but it's still nothing more than an educated guess.

It is just guessing with these pictures. But I am inclined to agree with Mats.

As an alternative I'll throw in LG6 (). They are fairly common. In this case the dorsal fin should be shapes like a shark's fin.
