doesn't look like a regular pardalis; more like a variety of the Snow King Pleco to me?

see Pterygoplichthys ambrosetti

the pattern doesn't fit, but the coloration does!
and your fish looks like an EXACT copy of pic #2 in that link.....

to me it's a nice P. pardalis.

P. ambrosetti coloration it's white patterning on a dark background, and in this fish have a dark patterning on a white background.
