Nope. Corydoras metae

Corydoras melini will have the stripe that runs down the back split into two (one on the right and left flanks). Corydoras metae has one solid stripe down the back.

I do believe your right. Corydoras davidsandi is much more likely.

I was so focused on the back stripe that I forgot to look at the tail.
