Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: jmgesell
Verified date: June 11, 2023
Coordinator notes: Impossible to tell with full certainty, as your location is in a region of overlap between P. cocyta and P. tharos. I assume this individual was sighted near your other submissions, which would favor P. cocyta. The darker crescent on a lighter background also favors P. cocyta. -jmgesell
