It is between pallid and monties for me. I think the latter. Wait for the experts to prove me wrong....

I'd go for Pallid with that collar and face pattern.

looks classic Pallid to me with inner primaries without bold subterminal bar, dark cheeks, collar well visible, not too much white around eyes
to exclude hybrids maybe better pictures needed
