It's definitely not a naso. Before when I first saw your thread I was going to say powder brown but then I didn't reply because I didn't think it was that either.

I would go with the white cheek. A powder brown has the same pattern as a powder blue, just brown hues. That fish doesn't have the same pattern as a powder blue.

I am certain you have a white cheek.
