Gudgenby River near the Boboyan Road bridge.
ID based on the extended curvature of the superior anal appendages.

The angle of photography can give very subjective interpretations of the curvature of the anal appendages. Based on the very clear separation of the antehumeral stripe from the collar, the depth and shape of the internodal abdominal spots and the shape of the latero-ventral yellow marks on abdominal segments 8 and 9, and the location/habitat; on balance I'm comfortable calling this a Southern Vicetail.
