Eww ... yuk ... specimen required  That said, it does look quite unusual ... I am just not sure what it is. It should be fairly easy to key with all those lovely bristles!

There is a reason why it is called 'tibialis'! Add 'yellow calyptra' to your list, and queer orbital seta (if you know to look for it, a very con.spicuous feature, easily visible in both pics above) Theo |

Many thanks Theo and Chris (I still think I should run the key one day, at least for educational purposes...) |
