Do you think the eyes are hai
Do you think the eyes are hairy, in which case it would be torvus... female.

 
Thanks!
Hi Bill,

Thanks very much for researching this sighting. As is typically the case, this specimen alighted and was off again before I could get another snap off on the cellphone. Thus, I can't say with any certainty that the eyeballs were hairy. I thank you all the same for trying to assign a species name.

All the best,
TJ
