The black on the parafrontalia seems to reach the antennal base, which is the crucial feature for female nudifrons.
However, the angle of view is rather cumbersome. My disclaimer is referring to the possibility of some shade on the frons due to flashlights. I don't think so, but I've seen more strange things happen with flashes.
