It would be "Panaqolus sp 'Stars & Stripes'" - looks like you have the twin of this one:

Thank you guys,

I have added more pictures for better ID. I am not very familiar with this plecos so I'm doing some research of how to keep them, what they eat etc.

Including an unusual adipose fin? Don't think so. I think I'm on the right track.

It's a beauty. A real wanna have fish. Especially since I'm a bit weak for Panaque.

...which I strongly believe it is.

If you want some, I suggest you PM sojapat (Neil from Pier Aquatics in Wigan). They were £85 each when I was there...

Thanks for the tip. Very tempting indeed.
I am however close to what I'd consider healthy for my fishes in regards of their number, sizes and tank size.
I do have more and bigger aquariums planned but before that can be realized I have a lot of work on the house ahead of me.

I would also look at Panque/Panaquolus sp. 'Iquitos' as a possibility.

Yup, that's "stars and stripes" aka P. sp. `Iquitos` - I _think_ P. sp(2) might be an adult but I am not certain.
