Yes Nuwan, You are right. I spotted this species again on the 17th and correctly ID-ed it...was just about to rectify this when you spotted it. My computer has intermittent security issues with PN so when that happens I have to use BOTH Chrome and IE to uplaod and edit...a real pain...I tell you. But Thanks...it is done now.
Hi Sukanya, please update the info, this is not Indian Skipper
