An unusually marked and coloured E. tympanum - quite grey looking with fewer dorsal markings than this species typically has. This species typically has a bronze or brownish or even olive dorsal colour. Nevertheless, apart from the greyish background colour it has the correct features of E. tympanum including the pale anterior margin of the ear opening.
