That is a synodontis petricola. Without a doubt im 100% positive.

You guys may be right, I am no syno ID expert. I do know that for any genuine petricola, a thousand very-closely-looking lucipinnis are sold (much cheaper, more available): http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=103

Finer points of distinction are beyond my knowledge.

Same with cuckoo - far more S. grandiops in the trade versus S. multipunctata.

Wanna be dead sure? I'd say get better, photo-tank pics and post on Planet Catfish.
