Patrick, Well, the antenna
Patrick,

Well, the antennae on these 3 photos (Oct. 22) do look very gray. However, the red is subtle (it is only clear on one of the first 5 photos - # 85454), so it may not be apparent on most shots (besides, it is best described as "reddish gray"!). The legs & thorax still look more like igneum in the Oct. 22 photos, so probably all are this sp. (For 100% positive ID, I would need to examine a male under a scope!) Thanks for the new info & photos.
