I'm not good with iding plecos but it doesn't look like an L-333

It's beautiful pealow. Take it over to planetcatfish for an accurate ID.

I'd say it is not a L333...looks more like a L66, a nice one like my "French Fries" It's beautiful! If possible, take a dorsal pic, it would be probably be easier to ID.

L066 has more narrower lines, at least adults

I guessing either L270 or L340, but am leaning towards L270.

It's hard to tell the shape of it's head from these pictures, but if the nose is really as sloped as it appears to be, it would be L340. They have a pretty distinctive topline, which you can see if you pull up the profile on planet catfish.

The fish appears to have a yellowish base color, but the lighter substrate has it's coloration somewhat faded. I'd be interested to see how it would look on a darker background.
