The color pattern isn't what I'd expect-- the paranota (lateral segmental expansions on the dorsa) are more yellowish than red/pink -- but I can only guess that this is another intergrade specimen of Sigmoria latior (Brolemann).

Looks like a Sigmoria millipede to me, but I'd wait for one of the experts
