That is a good idea to be honest. It would help make the game more realistic.
Another option is to add another species from the Dilophosauridae or one of its relatives that is around that size. Some species that might work:
Sinosaurus, An extinct genus of theropod dinosaur found at the Lufeng Formation, in the Yunnan Province of China which lived during the Early Jurassic Period. Sinosaurus is the only "dilophosaurid" known from a complete braincase. Sinosaurus comes from Sinae, the Latin word for the Chinese, and the Greek word sauros (σαυρος) meaning "lizard"; thus "Chinese lizard". The specific name, triassicus, refers to the Triassic, the period that the fossils were originally thought to date from.

Zupaysaurus, An extinct genus of early theropod dinosaur living during the Late Triassic in what is now Argentina. Fossils of the dinosaur were found in the Los Colorados Formation of the Ischigualasto-Villa Unión Basin in northwestern Argentina. It is known as the earliest known tetanuran theropod due to several features of its skull, dentition, and hindlimb. It was thought to be a coelophysoid in early studies; but later research found it was Dilophosaurid or a sister taxon to a clade containing dilophosaurids, ceratosaurs and tetanurans. The name Zupaysaurus is composed of the Quechua word supay meaning "devil" and the Greek word sauros (σαυρος) meaning "lizard"; thus "devil lizard". In Incan mythology, supay was both the god of death and ruler of the ukhu pacha, the Incan underworld.

I’ve always thought that Sinosaurus was the best way of implementing a novel accurate dilophosaurus Into the game. I know we have a lot of medium sized carnivores, but this is one I always wanted and looks significantly different to justify its edition.

Yes, a novel variant for the Dilophosaurus that is realistic and very close to the real animal would be great. Also a very popular demand in the community

I've been wanting a novel variant of Dilophosaurus for a while now, so I'm with you there.

I've also been wanting Frontier to also do a Jurassic World 2015 skin variant Baryonyx (quilled, yellow with stripes and with the turquoise eye patches) since the first game.

Both are wishlist items for a "Lost Dinosaurs of Jurassic World" or a "Novel" dinosaur pack.

I would love to see either an accurate variant of Dilophosaurus, or Sinosaurus.
The real Dilophosaurus is honestly so much cooler looking than the JP/JW version.

I rarely use the Dilophosaurus in park builds. I do use Crylophosaurus on a regular basis. If we had at least the novel version of the Dilophosaurus, I would use the dinosaur all the time.

Hey! I am proposing a new body variant for Dilophosaurus. As you may or may not know, Dilophosaurus is very different in the movie than to real-life. A real Dilophosaur is 3 Meters Tall and 7 Meters in Length, and it weighs almost 900 Pounds. So I think it just might be different enough for a body variant. I think it would be a really cool thing to have in the game!

Also would be great to have some representation of the novel

If we ever got a novel model in the game, it would be great to be able to change the skins on the model like the RTJP models. If this was done I would imagine it would be one of the most popular animals in the game.
