S angelicus from what I can tell. I don’t think they actually get that large though.

Is he just an exceptionally large specimen?

Yep, one chunk off a longirostris. Probably a female. Although there is a chance it could be zambezensis by patterning but not if it is 24-25” as they max out nearer 18-20”
