I'm still working on this one
I'm still working on this one....along with about 3000 others! How about 6007-Vitula edmandsii?

Seems plausible...
I don't know how many others might be similar, but I checked the examples in the guide and didn't see anything to make me doubt that ID.

Thank you, Charlie. Lookin
Thank you, Charlie.
Looking at it one more time, with the information about Vitula edmandsii, and Vitula serratilineela here on BG, I think I'm settling on V. serratilineela because of location....possibly a subspecies of V. edmandsii, according to BG. But for the sake of the guide, it may have to remain Vitula sp.
