Hmmmm... He sort of reminds me of my c. melanistius, but the spots are in lines, not scattered.
Here's a pic of my melanistius.

I'd say shwartzi (sp)

sterabi? If you meant sterbai, definitely NOT. C. sterbai is the cory in my sig.

 

[Wisperian]

Then pepper cory?

 

[-cAtFiSh-]

did you only get one? if so, cories need to be in groups of at least 4

Hi daniodude

It's not a sterbai or a peppered cory.

See if your fish looks like either of the ones in this link:

-cAtFiSh- is right too. Corys are schooling fish that should be kept in groups of 3 or more.

if I got albino cories or colored cories would he be okay, the lfs only had two of these guys

Hi daniodude

I think they would be. Albinos would be fine for sure, and so would most of the others you usually find at the lfs.

Looks most like leucomelas to me. Great cories

I would say he's a Corydoras delphax.
