Can you take a picture of the belly? The length of the coracoid process is a useful character in distinguishing species.

I don't know if they have changed the name but it still loooks like Dysichthys coracoideus to me.

The coracoid processes in B. coracoideus are much longer. That's why I asked for a belly shot.
