ID this pleco

[collinb03]

I have had this pleco for about 2-3 weeks now. I bought him from petco (I know don't harass me) for $5. He was in a tank with albino BN plecos and was the only one this color. I was intrigued so I asked them what kind it was and their response was "it's an albino that got his colors messed up" but after watching him, I think they're wrong. The pictures are not a good representation of his colors but he's kind of a chocolate brown with golden dots and his tail and his dorsal fin have the gold on it as well. Anyone have an idea of what kind it is?

Looks like a young bushynose to me. My adult has the same markings on her tail, and the same scale pattern.
