From those pics, it looks like a common to me. Have you got any more pics that show its coloration?

Blue
 
I thought common too, but none of the ones I have here of comperable size have a vivid orang stripe on it's tail.
 
Gibbiceps it is....Gal darn it....
 
Common pleco's can have color... I spent around two months looking for info on a plec with red stripes going down it's back, some people even thought it was a new species.. well it turns out it was just a color morph that was only found in one area.. here is a pic..

Out of all of the forums I visit I only found one other who had seen one and he was in England.

You might want to submit some of those pics to Planet Catfish :D
