Is this a common pleco in spawning or a completely different species? Never seen one with bright orange swollen pectoral fins before.

Maybe to you but to me, they don't looks like a common pleco to me...wrong body shape. Perhaps I should ask a pleco expert here? Care to explain to me why you think it is a common pleco? Because of their traits or simply because of their coloration or because someone says so?
Here is the video of the comparison of a common place and a mystery pleco.

Various sizes of same species of unknown pleco suggests that they are not a common pleco.
It is not Pterygoplichthys pardalis....the morphology don't match to the unknown pleco, nor they have bright orange swollen pectoral fins, even on small plecos.
First time seeing this video of his comparing the two.
Left one is a Pterygoplichthys sp. most likely a common.
On the right looks like a common hypostomus
There are a few types in the trade known as common plecos and the ones shown are common plecos.
Owner of the video once thought the one with the red pectoral fins was a panaque which it isn't.
So all that being said it's a common pleco if you really want to know which species count the dorsal rays 10+ = Pterygoplichthys sp, 8=or less hypostomus sp
Regardless they're not ultra rare and they're nothing special

Like I said, I cannot find any Pterygoplichthys species that matched to the unknown pleco and it is still wrong morphology for Pterygoplichthys spp. Perhaps I can ask another pleco expert here. I am not fully convinced that this is "common" pleco".
did you not see I said hypostomus? I was incorrect the first time
Do you even bother reading the posts in full?
Count the dorsal rays

And it's still wrong species....I know I already researched on hypostomus plecostomus and nope its not a match to the unknown pleco.
