I'm nowhere close to being a pleco expert but I have something similar.
Could it be a washed out / brightly lit version of this? Can you get a different photo?

This is a blue seam ancistrus, and there are white seams, too. L183

Lots of spots, bluish (or white) edging to the dorsal and tail.

Was sold as 182

A Google search of L182 brings up an image that looks like your pleco, again a bit hard to tell as its kind of washed out.

I'm confused why you're posting if you have an ID. Are you just looking for confirmation, eg you don't trust your LFS?

Yes, was looking for confirmation.

You cant always trust the seller, fellow hobbyist are usuallymore reliable.

it actually reminds me of the green dragon color morph of the common bristlenose but again I could be wrong because of the washed out aspect of the picture
