      Thanks! There are a few similar species, and I seriously debated which one this could be. I've also posted it on MO to see if I can get a species confirmation/correction. Posted 5 years ago

      Thanks! I thought so too - the bruising wasn't quite brown and was more orange, which confused me a bit with coming to a species ID. Posted 5 years ago
