What ancistrus!?

Hi,

A shop in holland, called Utaka, have imported these ancistrus as ancistrus minutus, are they!?
They are caught in the rio tocantins, and are 8-9cm TL.

If they are 8-9cm total length, that is about the maximum size minutus get to i think. They could be minutus but i can't find much data on this species although collection location would be correct
