is it a leucosticta?

I've just assumed it to be, but what do you think? Bought as "unknown jurupari complex"

Are there supposed to be pics? Or did they just not load for me?

Crap, it didn't go......here you go

it's clicky

Probably Leucosticta or cf Leucosticta going on the speckled snout.
Have you got a collecting locality?

first post answers your question Sagg.

Actually it doesn't. That's what he told me when I bought it, because HE didn't know exactly what species it was, so that's what HE called it........sagg?

sorry, I don't know the locale

"UNKNOWN JURUPARI COMPLEX"

I was answering Sagg's question, sorry should have been more clear. Sorry to derail, too.

I agree with Leucosticta. Jurupari on the otherhand, will have very few speckles and at least two brown bars going from the mouth to the eye and two bars on its forehead.

Gotcha. No worries. Thanks for the feedback, guys.

Juvenile leucosticta look a bit like Jurupari... if you have them in the same tank (as I do, 2/5 ratio), the difference is astounding. Upon sexual maturation, the leucosticta develop spangling that overtakes the 'face lines' of the jurupari-appearance.

Leucostictas are quite often brought in under the Jurapari ID. Mine were supposed to be Jurapari, they had the brown lines from nose to eye which now has totally disappeared. So after 4 months I have no doubt they are Leucostictas.

From the pic you posted I would say Leucosticta also.
