Please ID this Catfish

I look to have the exact same catfish so I can't wait until someone chimes in and gives it an ID. I believe the eyes are too big to be Salton Brachyplatystoma filamentosum but It would be nice to find out one way or another what kind of catfish we have.

I'd go with the B vaillantii, the mouth is way to wide for I labrosus, and P albicans.

I'd say this is Pimelodus albicans. My reasons for this are as follows:

1- It already appears to be too big to be Iheringichthys labrosus, combined with their rarity in the hobby, causes me to disqualify this species.

2- The fish in the video has a very reduced caudal peduncle and caudal fin. This is inconsistent with B. vaillantii. B. vaillantii has a long, thick caudal peduncle and a very well developed tail.

3- The caudal peduncle and caudal fin are however perfectly consistent with what is found on P. albicans.

To my eyes, there's not much of a doubt as to what this fish is.
