Pleco ID - Clown or Flash

[Bottomfeeder]

I picked this guy up for $5 at Petland in the hopes that he's an L-204 (Flash Pleco) but I knew it was way more likely that he's an L-104 (Clown Pleco) with some awesome patterns. What do you guys think? He's pretty cool either way and he gets along great with my larger Clown Pleco.

Sorry the pictures aren't clearer, my cell phone camera sucks, the Pleco is skittish, and my glass has algae on it.

He's an awesome little fish, he's really active and always out, and on top of that, he has my older, larger Clown Pleco out in the open. They're roaming around the driftwood pile/Java Fern, and they aren't fighting or anything Glad I picked him up.

I wasn't sure by the first 2 pics but the 3rd tells it all... it's a clown.

$5 isn't bad... I don't know why but the in last 20 years in this area they have always been around $10. I've never seen one at $5

Really? That sucks. All the stores here have 'em for like 4-5 bucks.
