I think he may be a sailfin gibby, not a common. Too many rays in that dorsal fin. He looks great, a lot like my gibby Winky, and around the same size too!

Pterygoplichthys Pardalis (one of many plecos considered a "common") and pterygoplichthys gibbiceps(gibby) both have 11 or more dorsal rays. I believe you may be thinking of hypostomus species wich many are also sold as commons and have 8 dorsal rays or less. So, that is a common IMO.

It is a common
But I had a marble sailfin that looked almost exactly like it
 
Nice Pleco.. I think Commons look great!
 
Good looking plec, but I'd get that boy some wood and fake plants and a place to hide lol He looks so exposed :-) Some of the commons have the coolest patterns and shadings. One of these days I'll give into temptation and get one.
 
beautiful, the last picture is my favorite. the name doesn't really suit it well but.. its a looker that's for certain!

if i ever buy a crayfish im gonna call it Zoidberg!:naughty:
