humm, looks like a 182, but there are a couple of guys on here who has had them before...i would wait for one of them to confirm this....
starlight usally refers to the l183 aka white seam but also to the l182 in some cases, its not the l183 fish, they have white spots and perm seam,
not sure which orange spot you mean so......
my best guess is an l182
there are a couple of pic's from some of the members fish here....... l182 click here

Have you got any more pics
It looks like an L182 but the head shape does not look right in the first pic, but it could just be the angle of the shot, although the head looks more L182 in the second pic but it's a bit blurry.

The head is Medusa like but it does not look broad enough to be a Medusa.
It's certainly an unusual one
