Moved for expert attention
Moved from ID Request.

Resembles Botocudo:



Trouble is, it also resembles several other genera--at least in this non-expert's eyes. :)

Great detective work, Ken !
The image you found matches better than those I found.
Botocudo modestus looks like an excellent candidate.
The only other Botocudo species recorded from, and native to, mainland U.S.A. is B. delineatus, whose markings appear more angular, but its patterning is likely variable.
Let's hope Dr. Sweet has a look.
