malawi sand diver Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 The orange cap perspicax females don't have as much yellow in the dorsal as the one pictured, they are more of a plain grey. Whereas the Metraclima Greshakei females have the yellowish dorsal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
