Thanks Erwin,
This is indeed C. striatella. The pattern of dark patches is present in most olour variations. Thanks also for another feeding record. Although there is no sign of the foregut protruding out, in both photos with the smaller animal, there are clear feeding scars. I have posted close-ups showing this in a separate message.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
