As I said...just my impression but not very likely that the animal is form india.
Thats what IMHO is deviant from most Phillipine specimens:
-The animal has a lot of red
-The Y shaped mark on the head is very prominent and very Y like
-The backside of the head is framed with a non interrupted red band.

All these are elements which resemble the positions of markings in the closely related G. verreauxii group 8i.e. verreauxii, smithii and siamensis) and to my knowledge are often found in indian specimens.
Most prominent in the bangladesh subspecies azhari-of which very little is known
Also I had the impression that this animal is already relatively big and may still be growing-donīt ask me why I think so
But may still be within the normal variation of other localities.
