That first one is an absolute stunner. Well they all are really, but that first one - wow!
If we all agree that it's a
S. pulchra, I think that pic should be added to the profile. Let's see what everyone thinks!

Beautiful loaches!
I wouldn't say the third is pulchra though, way to fewer stripes right? or as usualy wrong?

I actually have a theory on this David, I think that number 3 is either:
1 - A different species to the other 3
2 - Is actually male and the other 3 are female. As well as having less bands if you look closely the fish in photo's 1,2 have a slight hump on the top of the body between the dorsal and caudal this is also present in the fish in photo 4 but not in fish 3

OMG! Those are the best 'out of the dealer's tank' looking S. pulchra I've ever seen. Gorgeous. They're often so skinny.
Definite profile pics.
Martin.

Nice find MD. It is refreshing to see something uncommon.
BTW How many tanks are you running?
