I was cleaning my tank today and noticed my mango pleco's head has a yellowish patch on it. What could it be??? Any help is appreciated

That was my first thought but he didnt have it the last time I saw him (2 days ago) which worries me, Ive never seen anything like it
Is it eating well? Are you sure this isn't just a color pattern change? Plecos are notorious for this although I've never kept this particular species. Most of the "fungus" cases are bacterial. Fungal infections are very rare and yours is certainly not fungal.
I dont see him too often, but I do see him eating occasionally. If it is a pigment issue, what are some possible causes?
I feed him algea wafers and shrimp pellets. I feed the other fish flakes, frozen bloodworms, and brine shrimp so he may get some of that too. I also have driftwood.
