From L-Welse.com

L 368 Scobinancistrus sp. Rio Tapajós.

Extensive i know, but can you post a few pictures for confirmation and possibly the cat-elog as this species is not listed so far.

Hi

What size are they?

Hypancistrus sp L174 also show a "white" body (sort of) with black "spots"
Still the markings can greatly vary form individuals to another

Any chance for you to take a pic or describe a bit more your fish?
Alos check the cat-elog to see if any is close to what your have, even just body shape speaking...

Cheers

hi, this is the only picture that looks rather ok, ther still in the plastic bag.

I thought of hypancistrus too , and he has a spine on his back just behind the head,.
They still are maximum 3 Cm. they told me they became grey, but now a week later, still white /yellow with black dots.
