Yes is very similar, it don´t have the yellow-gold spots and no blue ring around
them ans the face is similar as well.
I don´t think i have seen one like this before thanks again.

Though very similar at first sight, this is a Sharptail, the Golden-spotted is much more visually striking it has it's white/gold spots framed in a blurry blue/black ring which makes them stand out more. Compare my Sharptail:
