What kind of Pleco is this? sail fin type?

[PlecoRising]

Hi. I was about to pick up a "hi fin".pleco off of Craigslist and the seller told me that he got picked up this a.m.!! I was so disappointed . He is very unusual looking...almost with a type of camouflage skin along his body. Does anyone know the specific type of pleco this is? I'd be so grateful. Thanks

Should be able to find them at most fish stores for $4.99-$9.99

3rd most common pleco behind commons and Bristlenoses

In some Florida fish ponds, it is the only fish in there!
