Quick ID Needed, Don't want to remove from bag if Hybrid....

Post by Doc_Piscis »

Hi all,

I bought these two guys from a LFS. The people there are really good about avoiding hybrids and they usually ID accurately. However, they got these guys in and I cannot figure out what they are. They are about 1.5 to 2 inches.

I am not going to remove them from the bag unless we can get these two ID'd. The picture quality is fairly poor, but I tried my best, considering I had to photograph through a cloudy bag.

Thanks for your help, and I will try to demonstrate the humeral process in a few minutes in a followup post.

If pictures don't post correctly, please advise.
