Does anyone know what this pleco is?

It might be a hybrid, it looks a bit dull to be a flash pleco, the fins look like a flash pleco but the body looks like a clown pleco, IMO atleast
Part 3 of me changing my mind... Look at the dorsal fin stripes..on a L204(Flash Pleco) the stripes go horizontally while the L104, L162, or LDA22(Clown Pleco) the dorsal fin stripes go vertically as shown in the original picture. Sorry for changing sides so much LOL but Plecos aren't always that easy to ID. So I stand by my original comment of Clown Pleco. Please feel free to give me a rebuttal.
Not the best photo, he's hard to come by in a 265 but this is a close up of him now
the reason I don't believe it is a clown is every one I have seen:
1. don't have that jet black like you see in this fish usually is is a blackish brown
2. don't have a sharp edge to the yellow lines like you see in this fish
3. don't have the high contrast like you see in this fish
I had another look at it today and it seems to have that lyre tail so I think I am leaning that it might be the flash. I’m still not able to swing a better deal from the lfs so I don’t think I will end up getting it. But really neat markings. Really like it.
