It appears to be a female bristle nose pleco. I could be wrong though. I don’t see the orange bulb you are referring to though.

Ive never seen a bristlenose with that patterning and the top fin seems a bit high for a Bristlenose. Im not sure what it is. If its not a bristlenose than most likely its gonna get big like most plecos.

Years ago I had several similar to this one and they grew to around 6-8 inch long, they didn't have the brighter contrasting spots like this one. I have not had plecos in years. Can you get a better picture of his bottom so we can see the growth?
