Thanks Daniele. That one appears to be correct the ID. Will go with it.

As the pinned specimen in the Wikipedia reference is in poor condition and not in a natural posture, here are some other images: http://dearlep.tw/species.html?namecode=348073 http://taibif.tw/zh/namecode/348073 I hope someone can confirm the suggestion. Although it is listed from the East Himalayan region there's a lack of photographic documentation.
