I picked this guy up today, labeled as a tiger pleco, but doesn't look like any Google pics of tiger or king tiger pleco.

I'm pretty sure it's some sort of peckoltia.
Have a look through planetcatfish.com, if you haven't already.

I was thinking Brevis initially but the markings on the rear half are different. There are a number of similar looking ones.
 
Thanks, atleast I have something to start with now. I've been browsing planet catfish, but there are alot that look the same to me. I'm pretty limited on plecos, I have a few bristle noses, bit that's it. I wanted something different for my angel tank that I'm putting together and he was double the size and have the price of the blue phantom the store had.
 
I think I've seen that pleco before, I'll try to find it.
 
The rubber nose doesn't have stripes on its fins like the one op has though.
