Oh, so it was unidentified! You updated it very quickly :-) All good then.

Hi Thanasis Samaras! Apologies if my suggestion is redundant. This had somehow appeared on the Unidentified list. Great spotting!
Thanasis Samaras
Thank you very much for the suggestion! I'd been trying for a long time to find the species!
