Can anyone help me identify what kind of pleco this is? I'm having a hard time finding out. New to the hobby.

Looks to be a common pleco (Hypostomus plecostomus)
It will get MASSIVE. So you will need to upgrade the tank as it grows most likely
 
Thank you. That's what I was afraid of but he's already growing on me (not in size). So much personality. I have a 55 gallon now but maybe this is the excuse I need to double it.

Always a really good excuse for a larger tank 😉😂
 
Very nice! But it will get big! I had one many years ago that was like something I caught fishing in my neck of the woods! Enjoy, but don’t be surprised by growth rate!!
 
So I have an update. I went back to the store where I got him and they told me he is an Orange Spotted Pleco. It is also written on all the tanks and they say they do not carry the common pleco due to how people get them not knowing how big they get. Thoughts?

Not want to be rude but forget it.
A Gold Spot pleco (L001) maybe.
It definitely is one of the bigger ones.
