Well I'm going off of the Clown Plecos I see often at my LFS which I myself have considered getting because they stay rather small and are good algae eaters. I did do a search and that was what I found as well, the scientific name being [SIZE=-1]Peckoltia pulcher.
Is he your only inhabitant in that tank? What size tank is it also? Has he begun to exhibit much of a personality yet or is he still very reclusive?

29 Gallon tank with some Platys in it. When I first brought him home, he was incredibly shy and just hid under that rock that you can see in the last picture. He's become a little more social and will clean small sections of algae from the glass or rock, but I don't see him a whole lot during the day. I just put a piece of driftwood in the tank 2 days ago, but he doesn't seem to be all that interested in it so far. He's still incredibly small, I wonder how long until he gets to be at least 2-3 inches.
That is an L104 clown pleco
Scientific name: panaque maccus
Dekeyseria pulcher (formally peckoltia pulcher) is not the fish in question.
