More photos?

will have to check my reference...
you see, i'm not exactly spoiled by generous offers like yours here... caught me by surprise
well, if you have the specimen and are prepared to part with it for guide's sake, sending it to Brad as voucher would be a good idea
[hopefully, i'll be able to accept voucher specimens myself by the end of 2015, but now Brad's the main victim of the growing voucher program, and he's pretty swamped, too]
