Hi,
I don´t think so.
L 136 b has much smaller spots.
You are sure, that it´s a Hypancistrus ?
Maybe a better photo would help.

L 136b is far more densely spotted, I think your fish is possibly L102, but a view with raised dorsal and caudal fins would help

@Ian , my plecos dosen't have that nice finannge like L102 does...
Dorsal and caudal fins dosen't have that black stripe...
TO me it looks just like hypancistrus inspector in the vat-eLog... but you guys are PRO

It is still a little difficult to tell but L201 H. inspector now looks the best option.
