Long barbels from Kapuas

Any ideas what fish this one is?

Catched near Sintang in Borneo. Propably a Mystus, but couldn't find a close match in literature, this one is so slender, very long barbels and adipose fin, and nice pinkish color...

Didn't know that one also lives in Kapuas.

It's a fairly common species found widely throughout Southeast Asia.

A bit worse picture and not so exciting looking species.

Hemibagrus cf. nemurus
I use cf. because these things are a nightmare to identify accurately.

I find it a nightmare to identify them to a genus, i labeled this picture now "mystusmaybe". This is a bit over two years old picture, and in that time i have learned not to identify them even to a genus. Progress?
