What seahorse is this?

What type is this? Was told a potbelly, but the price and look of it suggests otherwise....

Google h. abdominalis seahorse juvenile and see if those pics look like what you have.

Just did, those appear to have yellow coloration. And different patterns throughout, mine is dark brown/blackish and only one color throughout the body.

You can't go by color or patterns for ID purposes. These are highly variable since seahorses have the ability to change these. I would need a closer and clearer picture to have a better shot at ID'ing. Some other useful information for clues would be where is the seahorse located, what was the source where the animal came from.
