Apologies, Kristy. I now believe I erred earlier when placing this as
P. bulbirostris
. I now believe it's
P. brachyrhynchus
. The two species can appear quite similar (particularly in the case of the darker, less colorful forms, of
P. brachyrhynchus
like this one).
In
P. bulbirostris
the solid black marking of the frons covers nearly its entire area, extending downward from the top of the head all the way to roughly the horizontal level just above the bases of the antennae....which isn't the case here.
