He looks more like a C. solandri to me just because he is more orange than most of the pictures of Papuans i have seen.

I vote for C. papua.
Neither the orange color nor the eye spot are characters typical for only one species.
It's more about lines vs. spots between eyes and dorsal fin.
Both are possibly regional variations of one species, anyway.
