Thanks a lot, Sara! :) But it seems there are more possibilities. Mine has a pale dorsal line, that the other one lacks. I don't know if that is an ID feature. I thought it is. Any more thoughts?

Thank you, David! At least I know it is not possible to go any further in the ID and won't be struggling trying to.
