Albino pleco?

[SMS]

Can anyone ID this pleco. It was bought at Petsmart as albino chocolate pleco.
It seems to like veggies more than meaty food, its not shy when the lights are on. It has grown from 2" to 10" in about 10 months.
Thanks for any help guys.

That is just a leucistic version of a pterygoplichthys species. It is not albino, as it lacks the red eye. Oddball put up a great thread showing the differences between many different color morphs.
