Loach ID?

[Beta]

Collected from a small stream in Kallidaikurichi, a village on the banks of the river Tamaraparani in Southern India.
Difficult to photograph as it dives into the sand once the lights are on. I suspect this is a juvenile as it is only around 2 inches long.

Stunning little fish

Looks similar in ways to Nemacheilus elegantissimus

Thanks guys
Any guesses on what it could be? I'm going to their collection locale in a couple of weeks from now.. Let me see if I can find more.
