Hard to tell for me from the pictures, could you get another picture of his face? And what does his dorsal fin look like when its flared up?
 
I was in a hurry yesterday else I would have posted here.

It is an albino chocolate. Back in the 90's they were called red eye red plecos but someone decided to throw albino into it to see if they would sell better. They are basically a common pleco(Pardalis- L021,L023) that man tried to make albino.

Easy to ID as I've had over 20 of these. No need for anymore pics.
