Looks like hybrid #4 to me: https://www.planetcatfish.com/synodontis_sp_hybrid(4)

No ocellifer of course.

It may be a Featherfin squeaker, but I am not that sure yet it looks like one. You have a beautiful addition to your aquarium.

It is not
Synodontis eupterus
, it is a hybrid and thus not everyone's idea of natural beauty.
