Dear Michael, I think is D. obtusifolia, it has rounded sori.
Thanks Hugo! I have updated the name and attributed the identification to you. This appears to be a young leaf which is especially confusing. I collected this along with Sundue 5092 which I believe is D. auriculata. Now that you point out the sorus character I can see the difference between them.
