Hi you all pleco fans out there :D

I'm new to this forum, and also happen to have just got a new pleco to add to my pre-existing collection. I do however have a doubt about its appearance and species. Ir would be great if someone could help me identify this guy (pic below). Is it a G. Gibbiceps or a P. Gibbiceps? Or some other species?

Also does it appear to be in good condition? ie. is it too skinny for a pleco, or is that shape of the head a bit awkward? (I've seen that other plecos have less round of a head.

Thanks in advance!
Cheers.

Sometimes small plecos are skinny(fish store doesn't feed them much). He should put on some weight after a few months in his new home.
