It looks like a really sick common pleco to me.

Tell me what you are feeding it right now? That is common for them to "fade" if they are slowly lacking nutrition or food.

There is no way this is a common pleco (i.e. spp.) as there are not enough rays in the dorsal fin. It could be a species of , or even but we would need more pics to be sure. A close-up of the suckermouth would be good and indeed a pic of the fish in normal colouration.

My less than 25% sure guess is .

We are looking for a pic of the inside of the mouth. (i.e. teeth)

Similar to this.
