Common or bristlenose?

My mom's boyfriend wants to tear down his 30-gallon tank and give me his 4 remaining fish, which are all 8-10 years old. I'm very skeptical about this pleco. Is it a stunted common pleco or a female bristlenose? My mom estimates it's around 6 inches.

It's not an Ancistrus sp. (bristlenose).
It is a
Pterygoplichthys sp.
Look at Albino

Wow yea that definitely looks like the fish! Thank you for identifying it! The poor thing is so stunted. I don't know what they're going to do with it but I'm certainly not taking it. I don't have anywhere near enough room to give it a proper tank.
