There is just enough of the ventral surface showing to confirm the ID. Ideally, flip specimens over and photograph their undersides.

I turned this one over but could get nothing but dirt. A little water to wash it down would've helped.
Still, glad it was identifiable, and a new spot for this flatworm, although I suspect its all over the place.
