Entry: cognito (adj.)
In context: "Randy Lenz, in his cognito white mustache and sideburns, is doubtless down at the pay phone..."
Definition: Well, incognito (adj.) is: Unknown; whose identity is concealed or unavowed, and therefore not taken as known; concealed under a disguised or assumed character.
So that could work, but this may also refer to how Lenz's disguise isn't a very inconspicuous or effective disguise at all.
