Moved
Moved from ID Request.

Moved tentatively. At least two of us amateurs seem to agree on the ID, and it seems fairly distinctive, so... we'll put it here until someone tells us to move it. :)

Nice job, Ken!
It looks like Edward commented on this first (see the last frame) but home I thought you both deserve credit for getting this one!

Also, hopefully people who are interested will not miss those comments!

Thanks.
Wow, I wish I'd seen those comments sooner; it would have saved me a lot of time. :)

I rely on my internet searches for information...
...I don't know if it's any consolation, but I spent some time too...then decided I wasn't really sure enough to suggest...so, I think you did pretty good!

@Rich Hoyer- Really nice photos by the way!
