It looks very similar to what has previously been identified as Dipsiathus pallidifrons but I suspect that identification is wrong. iNat and ALA sightings of Dipsiathus pallidifrons look quite different.

I wonder if all the sightings under Dipsiathus pallidifrons are misidentified. Dipsiathus pallidifrons looks quite different on iNat and ALA (except for sightings from NatureMapr).
