Corrected date
I unlinked this pair from the original series, marked it female, and corrected the date to December 11 based on your comment that it was taken a day later. The system assumes when you add an image you want to reuse the existing date rather than import a new date from a photo file.

Female
If this is Atacta, the female has the pair of elongated black spots between the eyes in addition to the central stripe. The male (1173036) has closer spaced eyes with only one black stripe.
