I say that's a regular motaguense, like you thought.

Male loiselleis tend to be chunkier and freddys have a distinctive mark under their eye and taller vertical black bars.

It's a loisellei. Yellow base coloration with iridescent blotches on the forehead extended through the dorsal area and a black mid lateral blotches forming a line where the bars would be.

Loisellei for sure.
