After seeing an ID of Melanozosteria dookiensis on another sighting by illilanga, I thought this sighting is more likely to be this. This is more lightly coloured but has the same lighter band right around the body.

Thanks for the suggestion tpreston. I will let Kim have a look and comment. It certainly has similar markings. Cheers, Sandra
