Does anyone recognize this species of Ancistrus?

Hello all! Here's some pictures...

Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures. I really need to know what she is because I need to know what species to look for when looking for a mate for her. Here is all of the additional information I have on her:

She is a sexually mature female (currently HEAVY with eggs :shock: ).
She was sold under the common name of "Blue Eye Bushynose".
She is 6cm SL.
She was wild caught or river raised in Ecuador.
She has little to no reticulation with a grayish/blue bas colour.
She has very little if any patterning or reticutation on her fins or their spines.
(Sorry for the vague colour descriptions, she hasn't come out of stress colouration the entire time I've had her so I'm trying to be as accurate as possible. :oops: )

Thanks in advance for any help. If you need any more pictures or information to help in IDing, let me know.
