Brachyplatystoma tigrinum, nice fish! Be careful by the way, she's very sensitive at this size.
I already lost two tigs this year.
 
I think you are the first person I come across who had bought a tig and didn't know :) They are usually quite expensive, $200-$300 for a 3"-er, specialist fish which makes for an earnest buy.

It looks like a common baby / young juvi tig, no doubt. The pinkness is not well reflected in your photos and is probably flesh looking through semi-opaque skin. This is characteristic of many young, white-skinned, often albino catfish because they are scaleless.
 
Thanks all of your comments. Hope my fish is growing good. I keep it with my 2 stingrays, and feed them with earthworms.
