What are your credentials
Your profile page doesn't say anything. And why do you think the identification is wrong?

Cell R5 is entirely 'darkened
Cell R5 is entirely 'darkened' in T. tricolor (light gray), see for example. Here, R5 is entirely 'hyaline' or engulfed by the hyaline pattern. The wing pattern is generally a bit different as well. This is probably something in the T. furca group, but cannot specify one exactly. I just read a ton of literature on these is all.

Should have explained earlier but was wondering if it was just a mistake
