Oh, thank-you!
You have freed my mind to do what I really should be doing today! Perhaps E. floridanus?

 
ID confirmed by D.J. Heffern:
"Yes, E. floridanus.... very uncommon, hope the person collected it for a collection or museum"

 
Sorry,
I released it to find a life of happiness with a mate! If I ever find another I'll know!
