Greatshorty,
It is either L399 or L400, L400 tends to have a stouter body than L399

there's such confusion with all these L code's now especially with the Hypancistrus, the way i have been doing it for a while now is that when a shipment come's in i'll just try to get the most unusual looking one's, so i hav a tank of odd-ball's. You have some nice fish there mate

From the link you provided, it seems that mine may be one of those...however, the one from the link seems have less dots. In contrast, mine is much more dense and with some short lines, also over the fins and tails it's more likely to be dots rather than lines. But this is the closest one to be seen when compared to 262 or something else.
