What species of Cory Cat is this?

So I was buying some tetras and the guy at the store accidently got one of these guys in the bag. I was planning on eventually getting some but now that i have this free one I will just get more of the same kind. The only problem is since it was accidently put in the bag i'm not sure which kind of cory it is. Can anyone identify it for me, because to me they all look about the same. I think it might be a peppered cory?

Peppered corydoras certainly. I would recommend you get the little guy some more friends because they really like to be in groups. The cory has to be my favourite fish, really playful personalities I can just watch mine for hours.

There's hundreds possibly thousands of species and sub-species of corydoras although many look similar and it's like death to find some if not identified but this site should help: http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/common_names.php?letter=c

It is an amazing database of all species of catfish present so look at it.

Also this site is epic if there's picture's present http://www.tropicalfishfinder.co.uk/fish_view.asp
