Great work Bri
Well done Brian.
Not got any experience of the species but you can see it's distinctiveness. Apart from the features you point out I'm struck by the streamlined head shape - elongated you could say.
Brilliant find well deserved - I'm amazed what unpromising weather you're out in up at Fly Flatts and Ogden.
It helps getting hardened up living in Queensbury Steve.
