ID this Rineloricaria please

I bought a couple of these Rineloricaria labelled as L010 Rineloricaria Teffeana - but I'm not so sure that's what they are ? Or are they ?

For the purposes of this query, please ignore the common whiptail infront. This photo shows the long filament quite well @ around 4" or so.

Hello,

I'm not sure (I can't see details of mouth and belly) but it seems that you have young Spatuloricaria, but without more details like their origin, and important morphological features, I can't be absolutly affirmative for the ID. Nevertheless, I can tell you that they are not R. teffeana.

Cheers
Raph.

Thanks Raph - that certianly seems more like them

I will try to get some better closeup photos - these were just quick snaps! But sometimes that's easier said than done.

Ps: sorry for posting in the wrong section - I didn't realise there was an ID section!
