Veins differ
It looks like one except that the crossvein between M2 and M3 meets M1+2 at the fork instead of well along M2.

sure looks like alternatus
If not this than what else would it be?

If another species exists so closely resembling alternatus we had better recheck images placed under alternatus in the guide
