Please help me identify my Mystery Plecostomus

I got this guy (or gal... not sure yet...) a couple weeks ago from my local fish store. I saw it in the bottom of one of the tanks and asked what it was and how much. The owner said it came in with the Clown Plecos but he knew it wasn't a Clown, but wasn't sure what it was. He sold it to me for the price of a Clown Pleco, so it was inexpensive, but I'm curious none the less. I only have pictures of it while he was in the bag, but I think they'll do. If not, I can try to get better pics. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Glaser are listing L127 as Hypostomus unae (Steindachner, 1878), but this is from Brazil, not Venezuela?
