Well I have had this cory for a while now, about 9 months, and when I first picked him up at my LFS he was in the tank labeled "assorted corydoras." I haven't got around to posting a pic for identifying him so here goes...sorry for the crappy camera quality...my guess after looking at planet catfish is Corydoras elegans

Okay, seriously could you mnake this harder!? LoL :)

Does it have a large mark/spot on its dorsal fin or small spots throughout or clear?
Are the face marking dots or more like 'blotches' or swirled patches?
Tail fin spotted, and if so in arcing bands (lines) from top to bottom?
Anal fin spotted (will be light if it is what I think it is)?
No eye mark?
It looks like it has a distinct center-line running the length of his body - Are there less discint "line-patterns formed by spots" above and below this?

Answer these and I can probably get it even without a clear image ;)

EDIT: Guess is Trili atm...but can't see the Cory clearly enough to be even 50% sure
 
Best guesses based on poor pic

solid black patch on dorsal fin - trilineatus

striped dorsal fin - may be a C. elegans, may be something else (better pic, please)
 
I will try to get a better pic ASAP.

Definitely not tril. Too much "white" for the cory I have along with different body markings. The best guess I have is C. elegans. One of the pics in the second link ct-death had looks EXACTLY like mine.
 
c. elegans I"m pretty sure, my sister has one just like it.
