I need help identifying this pleco!

[lasvegasnights21]

I got this pleco, from a friend and was wondering what kind he is. Sorry for the blurry and bad pics, it moves really fast. To describe the pleco better, it is light brown, with reddish/orange patches on the body. It is approx 3"-3.5" long. If you can help, that would be great. Thanks for the help.

Again I apologize for the horrible pics .

That is what I was thinking, but I have never seen a common pleco, with orange/red patches. He does not look like my other commons in my other tanks, but he could be. Sorry about the blury pics, the pleco would not be still.

All the really young common Plecos I've seen have those patches/thick stripes. They go away with age.

Yeh, it looks like a common pleco. They are all lighter when they are young so the patches are more pronounced.
