I lived in Belle Glades for a while and fished Davie for p bass on the regular. Your whole comment just proved my point. Originally you stated an obvious fact that south florida and now central florida is riddled with pleco's, and now more than just common plecos. Oddball plecos are being caught, and I think the one in the pictures and video might be one.

100% Common

This video and the videos creator is annoying

Just look at his dumb comments on YouTube

I have yet to see any rare plecos being posted by members here or YouTube mbers from the waters over there. Only commons, sail fins and wild type BN's. Maybe it a hybrid of a common and sail fins which I doubt but it's nothing special that's for sure.

Annoying he is, but he is lucky to catch some pretty rare beasts. I'm talking about some of his other videos. p.s. it's not me in the videos. I just came across them on youtube. The Pacu he caught would have fetched a huge profit at a shanty brazilian fish market.
 
This is some type of Hypostomus pleco. May just be a hybrid of some sort. This isn't a sailfin (Pterygoplichthys) there easily told apart by the dorsal fin and how many rays it has. To few for Pterygoplichthys. Awesome looking pleco though. So did you catch it or is it just a video that you saw and wanted to know what it was? I looked on PlanetCatfish and none of the Hypostomus pleco's have those markings in just that location of the body.

Thank you for the input and research. I did not catch it personally, but I have caught and seen many common ones. The shoal in the thousands in some places, and I have never noted this coloration, even in the biggest of mature males.
