Almost sure it is S. polli. The humeral process is the right shape, and its looks in general are very polli-like.

Looks like a bleached Synodontis polli to me. Color is odd, but shape is unmistakable.

Also for me I would not have problems to call it S. polli. You can also notice the very thin stripe on the front edge of the dorsal spine, which is unique to the S.polli-group.
