Cheers,

Thanks Don,
It's an opportune moment to get another photo of this species as I am just in the process of commenting on Nils Anthes' interesting messages about C. flavolobata which looks as though it may be an Indian Ocean colour variant of C. inornata or a closely related species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
