Confirming this is a Hillstream?

[Saltinthedesert]

Just wanted to double check that this is a juvenile Hillstream loach? Any specifics from those who have worked with different variations are appreciated.

It’s definitely a hillstream loach, but the specific variety I am not sure without looking it up.  The care is the same.  
 

I have Sewellia Lineola and that is a different variety than what you have.  It looks like this (please excuse the fuzzy picture).

Gastromyzon may be the genus of the hillstream loach you have. I had some similar looking ones before with blue in their fins. Identifying the exact species night be tough. Neat little fish.

It looks like it is probably some kind of borneo sucker, which is a type of hillstream loach.  

Remember, hillstream loaches are a fairly large category of fish!

Yes I agree with @MAC and @RockMongler it looks more like one of the Borneo sucker loaches of the genus Gastromyzon. You can tell because the side fin-things aren't as wide as a true hillstream loach (Sewellia) has. They are also smaller than Sewellia species. I think that the species you have here is the spotted Borneo sucker loach (Gastromyzon punctulatus).
