I would actually lean more towards L-066 but L-400 is also possible. I wish I could see more of the dorsal and pectoral fins to see if the lines were nice and straight to really be more confident.

I am hardly an expert on telling these Hypancistrus apart though.

do you have the collection location?

This is one of my L400s. I would say that your second picture definitely looks to be an L400.

L066 or L400 are good bets
