It's a Pseudacanthicus sp., potentially P. spinosus. Just look at the mouth for confirmation on the genus. The flash seems to wash out the fish's true color, leaving it looking black w/white spots on some shots, then brown w/brown spots on others. It might be one of the other L # pseudas ... can't tell with those photos.

Whatever it is, it is certainly a large one!

I looked up pics of p. spinosus and it brown with black spots...mine is dark grey with white spots...not a match
 
I dare you to grab it with your bare hands!
 
interesting pleco....

agreed it appears to be a P.spinosus L160 also known as the spotted cactus pleco
