It's an unnamed (or unidentified) Ancistrus.

Looking at the link that you gave me i dont think it is that

looking at the pictures they have bristles on snout the ones i have dont they have smoth snouts

the spots are a lot larger on mine and more blended also a lighter color brown

also the pattens on fins ect are not bright on mine more see through than anything

hope this helps a little bit

Differences are the result of young vs. adult fish.

also the pattens on fins ect are not bright on mine more see through than anything

Color is variable.
