Unknown Philippines Chelidonura sp.

Dear Bill
at Xmas I had a look with a lens at the best of the photos - now I think, there are NO BLUE LINES. What I thought to be blue lines is the thinner part at the edge of the mantle. For a definitive answer I will wait for the enlargement of the photo and look again. I've posted the best photo at:

Thanks Erwin,
I still don't know what it is. It looks similar in shape to Chelidonura sandrana and Chelidonura tsurugensis and could be a colour form, of one of them, but the large white band across the front of the head is very distinctive and has not been reported in either C. sandrana or C. tsurugensis.
