Dear Orhan,
Halgerda stricklandi is still a fairly unknown species so we don't know much about its colour variability. Although your animal seems to have a slightly denser covering of orange spots than usual, the relatively undeveloped ridges between the tubercles would suggest it is indeed H. stricklandi.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
