They look to me to be Corydoras zygatus, which is similar to Corydoras rabauti but a little larger. They are often labelled wrong with both species being called 'rabauti' here are pictures of both species.

There are a couple of tell tail points: -
C. rabauti grows to about 50 mm body length and their stripe is matt black.
C. zygatus grows to 65 mm + body length and their stripe has a metallic sheen.

i'd say the first ones cos there is no metallic shine to mine
