I got a pleco from the pet shop on thursday and they told me it was a dwarf albino plecostomus. However since getting it home ive noticed it's actually pretty brown rather than the yellowy i was expecting for an albino (it looked pretty yellow in the shop :/) :S im concerned that its not really a dwarf pleco in which case its gonna grow huge haha so if anyone can confirm what type it is it would be greatly appreciated.here's a pic of it:

He may still be an albino pleco - because Plecos can actually occur in a "Peach Form" of albinoism. (I know, makes no sense).

At the end of the day, if he does get too big for your tank - you can always try and find him a new home.
 
My lfs sells bristlenose plecos in a calico color. maybe you got one of those, its similar
