Lion sole(?) binomial name needed

I saw this flatfish in Roatan. He was found on a sandy bottom in about ten feet of water. The locals call it a "lion sole," but it's not in the Reef Fish ID book (although rumour has it the Humann/DeLoach team will be there this week to try and find the critter). Does anyone know its binomial name? Web searches have been unsuccessful for me.

Hi Gina,

I've seen them a few times here in Roatan too. Around the shop they ID it as a Zebra Sole though I'm not entirely convinced. I saw a really small one yesterday, there's a shot it this blog post.

I'm curious too.
