Definitely NOT a Secretary or Spinyhead.....head and cirri are all wrong.
I'd need to see more of it, especially the dorsal fin, to pin it down. Sorry.

It's eyes and the speckles are so distinctive, yet I can't find anything like it.
Tough. Sometimes the head is enough, sometimes you need to see the whole thing.
Maybe a Flagfin Glass Blenny?

Or a Darkheaded blenny, maybe even Chameleon? The forehead area back to dorsel also distinctive yet matches nothing I can find.

based upon the white speckles and eye coloring i vote for a female darkheaded blenny.
At this point, I'm fairly certain it's a blenny. I'm certainly impressed with your knowledge here. I see blennies all the time when I dive, and I have no idea how to start sorting them out.
LOL netdoc. Yes, I'm just rifling through the file cabinet in my brain . . .not! I've got the books and the internet, so when I don't recognize something right off, I go looking. Then maybe next time it actually is stored in the filing cabinet in my brain.
If you're really looking to be impressed, check out those nudi lovers. They've got to know the Latin names! Even when I know one, I can't name it because I can't keep the Latin in my filing cabinet. Doh!

1 fish at a time, sometimes even as fast as 1 fish every dive... and then lots of looking in books.
we started with the little plastic sheet that you could take underwater, but quickly out grew it as it only had about 30 fish on it.
i now flip through the humann dive book before dive trip. because i forget things. the pretrip flip through is a refresher for the ones i should already know. once diving i will make mental notes of 1 new (or forgotten) fish per dive and then look it up in the book afterwards.
it seems like my "filing cabinet" has reached capacity as I seem to forget them at the same rate i learn them...
