Got this from another hobbyist a year ago--simply Id'ed as "clown pleco". Hasn't grown in the year I've had it, so I assume it's about full grown. I think it's got to be a male, but what species? Any help would be appreciated.

From what I can see in the photos of LDA026 and LDA067, the coloration and striping on the nose of your pleco more closely matches P. maccus.
