My apoligies for the photo size, a larger size was just impossible to upload.
Even tougher, this once common milk is terribly represented in the various guides and I've never seen an adequate pic that was true to the typical example/holotype. This is an adult and is absolutely dead typical of the ssp.
Points to consider:
-solid black snout but remnant flecks permitted-no ring!
~16 well tipped red bands-Shannon has prettier ones though
-well tipped (not blacked-out) wide WHITE bands
range: (parts of) states of Oaxaca and Chiapas to the north end of Guatemala where it intergrades with Stuarti.
As usual, if you have some of these rascals around, drop me a line!
Good luck! Jeff

Based on the range alone, I will guess oligozona.

Jeff, if this is oligozona, do you have any other photos of it?
