Janne is correct that it is a small male Panaque. A side view photo showing the caudal and dorasl fins would help. Looks like it is probably P. changae (L 226 or LDA 26), but I would need a good side view to be sure.

Hi!
Considering the head pattern I would rather say L02.
I used to have a female of that species. They belong to the Panaque dentex species group. They do not grow over 10cm/4in long
Here is a pic of a young specimen:

Well, it's certainly a male! I would agree with Yann and go for an adult male L002.
