The lack of facial markings may suggest G. abalios.
But sometimes something as simple as a certain color on the lip may suggest another species.
More detailed photos need to be shown with facial, and lip closeups to be sure
I edited your shot to bring out some detail, but more is needed to pinpoint an Id (at least for me).
Some species difference are very subtle.

Still looks like abalios to me, one of its distinguishing characteristics of abalios is a blue upper lip.
Another distinguishing factor, is the large mid body spot.
In altifrons, that spot is smaller, at times almost indistinguishable, like the altifrons below.
