What kind of bushy nose plecos have wide stripes?

We picked out a bushy nose or bristlenose pleco yesterday that had some interesting markings. He appeared black with wide, symmetrical grey stripes going around his body. About 4 stripes encircling his body. He does not have as many stripes as a candy striped pleco. He also has lighter circles around his eyes and a lighter patch on his head. I am having a lot of trouble getting a pic of him, but I am wondering if this pattern has a name? In our QT tank he looks more bronze, with lighter golden stripes and markings. Thanks!!

Do BN Plecos eat green spot algae?

I have some green spot algae growing on my glass and anubias and I don't know why my bn is not cleaning it off. Can I stop feeding him until he cleans the glass and plants?
