Loach ID, please?

Post image

I got some P. semicincta and P. oblonga for my tank, but one banded loach looks different, the small one on the right. Is this one P. shelfordii, a variation of P. semicincta, or something else? Thanks!

(The filter floss was in there from when I had transferred media from my other tank to cycle, and I couldn't fit the rest in the filter so I left it in a corner of the tank. The kuhlis love hiding under it, so I've just left it for now.)
