IMO your Pleco is either a common or a Sailfin. Both very closely related. I think the Sailfin variety has 13 or 14 rays in the dorsal fin. Both grow pretty big.

In my area a juvenile Sailfin cost between 3 or 4 dollars.

ive been told on facebook its a leopard common

Leopard Pleco is just another name for the Sailfin Pleco. The Sailfin and Common are very similar fish. Wouldn't be unusual for some to label a Sailfin, "Common".

I'd say it's a sailfin. Sailfin have more of a giraffe spot look to them. The Common pleco's have more of a look like rounder spots connecting. I think...

Looks common to me. Spots on a sailfin's face should be bigger in size if I'm not mistaken

[King Fisher]

I'd say that's a common pleco. It definitely doesn't have the X or cross hair. I'm also looking at my common right now and at your pics you sent and they look identical.
