It would greatly surprise me if someone could give you a positive ID of that fish, except possibly if you happen to know where it was captured?

The problem with Ancistrus species is not only there are many different species with similar colouration, they are usually exported as a mix of wild cought "Ancistrus" and in most cases impossible to know the true origin.
Ask your LFS if they have any information to share and maybe we can come up with something.
