Will, I'm still not comfortable that this is delicata. These extra images are still not very clear but if I had to make a call I think the frontoparietal scale may be paired. I'm not trying to make it into coventryi but in short I am not sure I have seen anything like this here. I'd sure like to have a closer look under a glass at one of these? It just doesn't look right but I'm happy to leave it as delicata with reservations. Perhaps I need to get out more!
