Facial markings indicate V. varius.

Hi Will, I messaged John about that and the broad tail markings just visible on the far left of image 2.

Yes, my first instinct was varius based on the face but the double banding on the tail pushed me in the other direction. Happy to stand corrected if every one else thinks it is varius

I also agree with Will, the tail is a bit confusing but can see the even pattern blow out near edge of the pic. Face markings are very V. varius.
