Much obliged
Thanks for quick feedback! Can you tell me feature(s) led you to call this G. galusa over G. pulchra? I thought the body length would point to pulchra.

 
from my experience,
overall color and faint dorsal pattern matches gulosa. pulchra is usually gray and the underside of the abdomen is all black. pulchra has a slightly stockier build. gulosa is the more common of the two where the ranges overlap in the north

 
Good feedback
Thanks for the lesson!
