I believe it is an L190: http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=151

If I am wrong, do not hesitate to correct me. I am still an amateur at IDing plecos.

Just wondering, do you have any driftwood in that set-up?

Plecos in African set ups for the most part do not work...

Because of the red eyes and thinner stripes I'd say L190 also. What confuses me is the color. I thought most 'standard' L190's were gray/black. The green/black is typical of L191's. Do his eyes look bright red in real life? The L191's (called Dull-eyed Royal) adon't have the bright red eyes like the L190's. Hopefully this post will bump this to the top and maybe someone with more experience can answer it.

95% certain it is L190, slight possibility that you could argue L330 on account of the swirly belly pattern and spots on pectoral fins. The lighter than usual colour (imo more attractive) will be due to the light coloured sand and bright lights. African cichlid water chemistry isnt ideal but as long as he is well adjusted/acclimatised there should be no issue.

I'd say it is definitely a L190.

L191 is dull eye royal. Different eye color.

Most likely a L190 with a small chance being a L330
