Date of record:   1986-10-17

Notes:   White mark on tail was for individual recognition during a behavioural study. At That time I had this as melanotis (White patch at base of ear, and Naas R at TM took a look and agreed), but now I'm leaning towards mystacalis looking at the feet... I should have more images etc, but have not located these as yet... Will update record if I locate more details...
