About 7 days ago, I believe this was the one parked in Ivy City Yard now heading to Philly according to the title:

The Future is Now: Another @Amtrak āNext Generationā train setāassembled at Alstom in Hornell, NYāis completed and soon to be ready for use on the Northeast Corridor hopefully this spring. Caught it near Swain, NY today. These sleek new sets are capable of speeds of 160 MPH.

Additionally, I believe there had been (as of about one month ago) an Acela 2 parked away from the others at Penn Coach Yard, Philadelphia. It is now moved or gone although I missed the chance to get a picture.
Finally, there have been some extras roaming around the NEC possibly between County/Lincoln and Ham. On Tuesday, Extra 876 was doing some sort of brake test at 9:32PM, likely near County or Lincoln. Yesterday, on Wednesday, Extra 876/877 seemed to be doing some round trips maybe between County and Ham between 8:46PM and 10:18PM. At 10:18PM CETC-8 asked if the extra was going back to Philly.
The extras of the last two days could just be Charger tests but it sounds like one of the same engineers from Acela 2 tests.

Yesterday there was an Acela 2 delivery down the Hudson line.

I think it or another set took the spot. It's back now on the left, ahead of the others.
