Judging by the shape and size of the dorsal spot my best guess would be
Corydoras sp(cw051)
.

Nice fish. If they are the same price as panda Corys they are a great deal.

The price for them here (Israel) is 13-15$.

If there where "rare" I think I would take them.

In England, they typically sell for £18-20 (US$27 or so). C. panda can be had for around £4 (US $6).

I paid 60 dollars U.S. per fish for my group when I first got them. Believe it or not those were the fish that got me interested in Corydoras-and now I'm hooked! I would say at that price you should buy all they have. :d
