Rapala varuna or Rapala rhoecus?

[DaveChiangMai]

A female Rapala from Omkoi, nw Thailand. The two photos are different individuals taken in the same spot but assumed to be the same species. Cannot decide if this is varuna or rhoecus.
Thoughts please.

They both are definitely R rhoecus.
The bands are solid dark brown without the white edgings.
