I recently purchased this pleco and my local fish store had someone trade it in and no one seems t know what kind it is. Can anyone help me out with identifying this cool looking pleco. These are the best pics I could currently gather. Thanks in advance.

Upon further research I’m lead to believe it’s a L262 Stardust. Still would like potential confirmation if possible
 
Sorry this one has me stumped.
I don’t disagree with your guess of being a stardust, I’m not even remotely familiar to deny or confirm.
 
That is an L48 Scobinancistrus pariolispos, Golden Cloud Pleco. You can see the saddles in the first pic
 
I just looked in my tank and caught my L262 in the front. Here's a pic. Looks pretty much like Isaiah75 pleco. Isaiah75 pleco is probably stressed from being in new tank and the light-colored sand is probably making him lighter

Yes, the first pic was in fact shortly after introducing him to the tank and the others were a day later. I would have to agree he looks more comparable to your stardust that the L48. Thank you so much all of you. Much appreciated having everyone’s input.
