How to recognise it

Two adjacent corners show yellow on top; the other two make headlights. Hold the headlights at the back.

Its inverse is another case

Do the Headlights algorithm backwards, R' U2 R' D' R U2 R' D R2, and you are solving Bowtie.

That's why CubeDojo never scrambles Headlights that way: it builds a random state with the case fixed, so you practise Headlights and not Bowtie.
