Oto-looking thing

Anyone knows what this is?

Could it be Parotocinclus haroldoi?

Thanks,

It looks like it lacks an adipose fin, so it cannot be Parotocinclus.

Didn't even notice the missing adipose fin :oops:

Thanks a lot for Your help. Hard with those undescriped species, that are not even finally placed in a genus.

Kind regards
