Sternite 5
A ventral shot of the tip of the abdomen showing the shape of sternite 5 might help.

The bristles on the hind leg seem to be broken off.

 
Thanks, John
I admit I'm intimidated at the thought of trying for such a detailed shot; I'll see what I can do. Good to know this and the bristles on the leg are useful for ID. --J
