Yellow plecos identity???

[AussieGal]

Hi Guys, I'm living in Dubai, UAE and have bought my tank a few months ago. I've had tanks in Australia, but alot of the fish here are different to what I'm used to. I have two yellow plecos. They are roughly 4 inches long and have big red eyes. I've had a quick look on the net but haven't come across anything similar. Any suggestions as to what their name is?
Thanks (I can't upload pics... am on my work pc)

Are they yellow spotted or are they a yellow-brown shade all over with dots or do they lack dots or are they yellow like the color of your smiley face?

They might be some kind of albino, but without a picture it's hard to tell.

They are completely yellow like the smiley, and have red eyes. Don't know how else to describe them. Their belly is a bit paler so you can kind of see their 'insides'.... 8O

I suspect its a more common plec, but an albino variety. Most albinos have red eyes. Check out the albino plecs at www.catfish.com 's cat-e-log; you'll see a few really yellow cats with red eyes there. Maybe its one of them
