I haven't a clue. Which means if someone can ID this, I'll smack myself upside the head and say "Oh, yeah".

Thanks for any help with this.

Thanks Andrew.
I think you are spot on. Here's a thumb of someone else's Zelus.


Like I said...Oh, Yeah!...I should have known this.

Thanks for the help, Andrew.
