600 or 114

L114 ive had L600s and this looks nothing like one, the L600 is duller, the coloration of the head is different, Look them up photos in the gallery on here. The L600 is a much rarer pleco. It is a nice small L114 though 
Hello Matt, i would also agree with the others L114.
Looks like your is still small. cheers jk :thumbup:

Its really tough to tell at this size but I tend to agree.
L600 typically holds an orangish/reddish band on the edge of the dorsal whereas L114 doesn't. You can clearly see that its going away already. The spotting is pretty uniform sized between the body & head, L600 has smaller and/or no spots on its head. It'll get easier as it grows into its adult coloration but the way its developing now it looks like L114.

114's have bigger head spots...
600's have tiny head spots in comparrison
600's have a bit more red on the dorsal fin and the tail....

i have just looked up both on here and to be honest it looks like some 114 and not others and some 600 but not others? have a look some 114 only have orange tips some have full colour and some 600 have full orange tail? i don't know but if you say it's 114 i'll go with that. cheers
The problem probably is that your fish is still young & the pics you're looking at are of adult fish. There is also the issue that L114 and L600 are so similar looking but L600 considered more desireable that people label L114 as L600 so they may charge more money. Finally there are just many that don't know the difference of that there is even a difference between the two so pics aren't labeled correctly.
Take a look at my avitar. That fish looked just like yours when I purchased it at about 2.5" (6cm).
114
I actually bought it as a 114 then was looking on it's needs and realised then was a 600 too. conflicting pictures etc and i came up with 600 but you have one and see the changes as they get older i have only had it a few weeks so im think i can be sure its a 114 was photos that confussed really like you said pictures could be labelled as wrong fish thank you very much

L114 for sure.
L600 at that size have a different body pattern, although can create controversy it is not that hard to tell apart.
Please see L600 pictures at 1.75 - 3" inches in size.
