I think it's a cuckoo catfish. One of the synodontis species

Just googled them and it does look like one except its head is dark and it has a few big spots opposed to the many little spots.

Could still be a syno species

Yeah i think so. Like i said for the most part it looks like a cuckoo so it cant be too far off the family tree.

Although a better pic would help, I am rather positive it is this syno hybrid (a cheap version of Syno decora): http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=2112
