Well, I can tell you it's a Hypancistrus of some sort, I'd plump for L333 with those thick lines and stocky body.

PS - Can anyone else see the numbers 444 on it's side?

I think there are, but Hypancistrus aren't my bag, baby :D I've had a group of Hypancistrus L066 and there were white/black and yellow/black fish amongst them.
