It's a xanthic version of this, I think.

Not that uncommon...I think you should have a look at
Synodontis nigrita
....it is the most common xanthic syno as well(commercially produced).

There is one on the page that I have photographed that is all yellow now.

Plenty of these in the UK, often sold as 'custard cats'

Interesting. In accord with the OP, IME they are also rare in the eastern US.
