Yes, seems most similar to X. assimilis although this speciemen clearly shows a yellow head which that species apparently lacks.

OK X argentella fits the 'ochraceous'' descriptor, but only a few seem to show that feature on the ALA's examples However Jack Crosbie's photo there matches this specimen quite closely. Also the second photo on LBH also shows a slightly ochraceous head.
