The look can alter dependant upon the age/size of the fish so L002 is a pretty good match, L169 seems close but not so much as L002, but i'm not good with L numbers

I have some similar ones, but I'm not sure if mine are L002, L169 or any of the other few species that are similar. The easiest way to find out would be if you know what country/river they come from - at least L002 and L169 are easy to tell apart this way.

If less than 4 cm then it looks fine as a L002, but as Mats said;
