Looks like a paleosuchus trigonatus (Schneider Dwarf Caiman) to me.

To me it looks like a paleosuchus palpebrosus which is often referred to as a wedge head caiman. I am not expert but was told if you look at the scales on the back is the easiest way I have found to tell. If they appear in clean rows and not jagged or not in what appears to be straight lines then it is a paleosuchus palpaebrosus. Check out http://crocodilian.com/paleosuchus/paleosuchus.html. Hope this site can help.
