What Corydora is this?

[Brittafish]

Hello,

I was just watching my Corydoras paleatus and Corydoras habrosus eating their dinner when I spotted one that was not like the others...
Anyone know what this is? It's about the same size as the habrosus, but lots more spots and feeding away from the habrosus group. No idea how I haven't noticed it until now. I stocked this tank months ago.

maybe your paleatus had fry!

Looks like a young paleatus.

That's exciting! They do spawn, but usually all of the eggs are eaten by the other fish. I did consider that maybe it was a fry, but it's so much darker than the adult paleatus!! I guess maybe it will lighten up with age?
