Definitely C. acutirostre, they can be pretty variable in markings. The one I had had similar patterning and colour to yours.

body like, yes but most have spots.
This one doesn't nor really a trace of them even, so thats where my problem was with that.

There pattern varries from fish to fish and is affected by stress

ctenopoma ocellatum has dark stripes and no blotches or spots
