Answer: Superior constrictor

Superior constrictor inserts in the median raphe attached to the occipital bone.
The median raphe has more muscles(
middle and inferior constrictor) inserted but this is the only one next to the occipital bone.
All their function is the same which is constricting the pharynx to propel bolus into esophagus.
