Ahh yep, wiki was confusing me with their talk of skutes. Either way, I wasn't getting in the water! Thanks.

Beautiful series! However it is a salty. Compare the neck of johnstoni http://crocodilian.com/cnhc/cst_cjoh_am_head.htm with porosus http://crocodilian.com/cnhc/cst_cpor_am_head.htm noting the very uniform small scales behind the head in your fantastic spotting.
