Looks like trivittatus.

Mmmm ... I'm not saying it isn't trivitattus - but ... the lower picture seems to show a rather dark facial stripe - is this just a very dark-faced individual, or is it an artifact of the picture?

Thanks, Richie - that's a yellow facial stripe OK - so it is trivittatus. The angle of your second picture really does make the stripe look darker, which is why I queried it. Many thanks for showing us the other pictures.
