Is there any chance you may have another photo showing a close-up of the head and mouthparts? I have diffuculty seeing the size and shape of the palps.

The second photo especially shows what I thought was a single long curved palp, and the second one with its tip broken off. Perhaps I misinterpreted, but unfortunately I don't have a better photo.
