Coordinator notes: Jim, I don't suspect this is your photograph, due to the time of year of the sighting and the pristine condition of the specimen. We usually require the individual observed to be photographed. However, given the uniqueness of this species and the time of year that you saw it, I am confident that you are correct in your assertion of the species.
