He was in a tank in Petco with no label. The salesperson didn't know what type of pleco.
I think it's an albino, but it's more yellowish than white?
It's roughly an inch in length.
Thanks!

It's one of the many man-made varieties of Bristlenose (Ancistrus).
 
in fact, getting an actual white one is unusual most are a kind of pasty to yellow color... that one is albino ( you can tell by the albino color eyes ) there are also ones they often call "blue eyes" which don't typically have "blue" eyes, they have normal, rather than albino eyes... these are a white color morph, ( Leucistic ), rather than an albino,
