Not intending to hijack.... But Davo, can you please explain the visual cues, markings, etc. that led you to the proper ID? I'm a true noob when it comes to plecos and I'm willing to put some effort into learning more about them- plus it'll sound better when I have to explain to the GF why there's another fish in the house.... :D

Well, it looks like a general Hypancistrus, just looking at the shape of it and unlike the others mentioned (such as Leporacanthicus and Baryancistrus with different head and body shapes).
 
My water was a bit off due to a new piece of driftwood, so that could acount for its spots looking a bit yellow. spots are whiter now.
