I think its a Potamotrygon sp. Falseneri "Bogwoodbruce"

heres a pix from another thread that hes conveniently ignored to post in the stingray section.. easier to brag in the Photo Lounge when people don't know that he's blowing wind..

Looks a bit like this Peruvian "Common" ray I imported for a couple bucks a few years ago.. should of labeled it P. sp. Falseneri

While we are on the subject of Falkneri's, I took this pic when I went to TFD about 2 months ago. It is of what they call a falkneri look alike. Of course it is not a falkneri (don't really know what it is), but it would be more convincing than the rays posted so far. This one was about 12 inches.

Thats a castexi, back in the day when good old Darin Frye still worked there he sold me what was supposed to be a real Falkeri and sent me one of these. I was pretty upset.

I saw a pic on one in the first Dr. Ross book I bought. It said it was unidentified and I have never seen another one like it. Castexi makes sense.
