No, it isn't. L147 is spotted, not striped.
This looks like one of those striped Panaque of the P. dentex group.

Hmmm, out of the whole batch that came in, only 2 resemble the L147 with the dots on head, the rest are like this ^. :roll:
What number is it do you think? :roll:

These looks like P. maccus, I have not seen any L147 on any stocklist from Colombia but they are sometimes mixed with P. vittata (P.maccus) when ordered from there.
When I purchased my L147 they had L124 as L-no in the stocklist, so you never know what you get when they arrive.

Here is a picture of one of my two L147.
The other 10 are the P. maccus I feel too, as you say.
