Diogmites
This looks like discolor. Though there may be some basalis variants that are lighter than normal and they would be tough. Your area should only have basalis, discolor and misellus however, making it quite a bit easier than south of you.

D. discolor
This one is just like the one already in the guide, except a lighter color. Thanks Herschel.
