confirmation needed on Chaetostoma

is this a Sp.2 ?
It has some chameleoline abillities as can be seen in the pictures.
Colours along with the colour of the rocks or substrate,
though the dorsal fin aswell as the pectoral, pelvic and tail fins always have the same colours
It has really good eyesight and is very skittish.
Tedious job to try and get any decent pictures of this fish except for its belly side ;)
notice the "saddle" markings
just onder the Beaufortia on the substrate looking really pale, but still the saddle patterns are visible.
Boy or girl ? When on a window or in a cave/hiding spot colour goes to a almost black
with small dots going over in small patches as they near the tail, and the Saddle markings fade away
