Tang ID

Picked this guy up a week ago from my LFS. I got him for $10, and was told he's a "baby" clown tang. I've been looking around for pics of baby clown tangs but I'm not finding anything like him. Any idea on what tang this actually is?

He's got a little blue spot on the base of his dorsal fin that popped up a day or two ago.

He's got stripes on his body and speckles on his face if that helps

There are a couple Ctenochaetus(bristle tooth) tangs that have stripes on the side and speckled faces, hard to tell from the video which it is. Definitely not a clown (Acanthurus sp.), wrong face structure for that family.
