Poor thing.
Why is it so depressed (presumably even more so than the 'dark moodna?') LOL! Sorry, couldn't resist:-)

Good!
Eric, My moodna has been darker after some recent bum guesses here on IDs.

Better Mood
I think the ID is correct but I noticed the head is a less moodnay yellowish-orange like pallidostrinella instead of gray. The rest looks good for ostrinella.
