lighter in color, but of similar pattern and possessing small black spots between 
lateral line and dorsal, these arranged in groups of 1-3, the arrangement unlike 
on the two sides, but for the most part in pairs; a group of four indistinct spots 
on top of caudal peduncle; white spots and lines on sides of head and throat 
are more distinct in the larger specimen. In the two smaller specimens the 
colors are more faded but similar to the smaller specimen just described.
