2dn Ray to be replacing Rhode Island in Dutch Guiana (7)

The answer seems to be SUNBEAM. This is almost (but not quite!) BE replacing RI in SURINAM (Dutch Guiana). Am I missing something?

Yes it looks like Su(RI)nam with the BE replacing RI in a different position Sun(BE)am - cant see any other parsing
