I paid a little more than I'm used to, but the guy at the store I bought it from didn't really know what he was doing, and as far as I know, uncommon plecos run a lot more than commons....
This is the closest thing I could come up with but it still looks a little different unless yours just has an unusual pattern.

I got him yesterday morning at Petsmart about 30 miles from me, he was in one of the tanks with the commons, and I got him as a common. I think he was like $5, which is almost twice as much as I pay anywhere near me, but i'm pretty sure he's noe a common. He looks much different when he isn't scared. He got those colors after my oscar put his nose behind the pot where he was out and freaked him out.
i think its a L052-Lithoxus sp 'Butterfly' (aka butterfly pleco). http://www.kerklied.com/~patrick/foto groot L52.htm
if it is then it will get bout 5" max. 22-26 degrees C pH 5.8-6.8 is said to be best, will take tablet food, think it needs bogwood and is an omnivore with a preference to meaty foods, like insect larvae (wild).
