Please make this change for HOL045 undone.
I have the Original set and the minifigure HOL045 has a BLACK dimple pattern
and NOT and Brown dimple pattern.
The main picture of the HOL045 with the black dimple pattern is correct.
So the number for the head is 3626cpb0278 (hollow stud)

Oh I see there is some mess now in this minifig.
I think I know explanation.
So I inventoried this minifig back then based on instruction. In instruction
PCC for head for this elf is 4506998 so it is this head with black dimple
 
Part No: 3626cpb0278  Name: Minifigure, Head Reddish Brown Eyebrows, White Pupils, Lopsided Smile with Black Dimple Pattern - Hollow Stud
* 
3626cpb0278 Minifigure, Head Reddish Brown Eyebrows, White Pupils, Lopsided Smile with Black Dimple Pattern - Hollow Stud
Parts: Minifigure, Head
Then after some time I realised that photo for this fig in our catalog showed
different head, this one with brown dimple
 
Part No: 3626cpb1286  Name: Minifigure, Head Reddish Brown Eyebrows, White Pupils, Lopsided Smile and Medium Nougat Dimple Pattern - Hollow Stud
* 
3626cpb1286 Minifigure, Head Reddish Brown Eyebrows, White Pupils, Lopsided Smile and Medium Nougat Dimple Pattern - Hollow Stud
Parts: Minifigure, Head
so in that time there was I think completely different photo for this minifig,
I wrote this in this change request:
"Also wrong head, also can be seen on photo" so photo showed then probably one
with brown dimple if not I wouldn't submit this change. After that photo
probably was replaced to better one (old one was deleted) (I don't know when
because I didn't notice this change) and this small difference between color
of dimple wasn't noticed (there is different submiter of item and different
submiter of photo for this entry so this sitation is very probable).

This set in true came with both heads variants, there are copies with brown dimple
head and copies with black dimple head.
Brown dimple head can be seen here:
- https://youtu.be/vjnzX0OVPTc?t=5m35s - speed build and review from sealed set
contents, bags opened in front of the camera
- https://youtu.be/pxr7HBznFmQ?t=6m9s speed build from sealed set contents, bags
opened in front of the camera, but head attached to wrong elf.
- in this review made by WhiteFang https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/99940-review-10245-santas-workshop/
- in Brickset review
https://brickset.com/article/12282/review-10245-santa-s-workshop

Black dimple head can be seen here:
- https://youtu.be/S025eCeAHG4?t=7m54s review from sealed set contents
- Jangbricks review https://youtu.be/PjKRq1_K-aM?t=9m6s

So there should be two alternate elf minifigs for this set, one with black dimple
and one with brown dimple
Unfortunately for this entry old photo can't be return it was replaced.

Thanks a lot for notice this.

There are three ways to fixing this:
1) New image for this one to match with is inventory and new elf with black dimple
head should be created.
2) We return here head with black dimple and new elf with brown dimple head should
be created.
3) Create two new entries for this elf and this one marked for deletion.

This error is probably here from longer time, so I think third soultion would
be the best here then sellers will notice when it will be marked for deletion
that is something wrong with it and then they would be able to check they listings
and move to correct one.
