Unknown Parrotfish

Looks like a Redband Parrotfish to me.

I'm voting for an initial phase striped parrotfish. See p200 bottom left of Reef Fish Identification for scales and pattern along bottom of belly. I also saw the white dots along the flanks regularly in Bonaire but can't quickly dig up an image of one of them.
Redbands in this stage normally have a clear white saddle spot and very obvious large scales.

Thanks to both of you for your help. Interesting Bart that you have seen them with spots on their sides in Bonaire previously. I agree about the belly pattern - hadn't noticed that before. I think I'll name it "Striped(?)" and leave it at that.
