A bit difficult to say, but I'd say it's a Hypancistrus in the group that contains L333, L66, L318, L260 etc.

l-66 to me.

399 possibly, but it bears a rather stubby rostrum.

Hi!!

Found the caudal pedoncule rather thick...which could make this fish a member of the "lower Xingu" type!!

Eyes are too big for L316!!
Cheers
