User's notes
I must have seen tens of thousands of these things over the years, but none like this aberrant individual. It seems the 'milky coffee' colour present in 'normal' individuals (picture enclosed of one sunning itself less than a metre from the other one) has not be produced in this individual, either a 'fault' in its genetics or something happened as its wing developed. Otherwise a perfectly healthy looking individual
