Just curious why you say it is not a humerosa. I have looked at pics of both the yepezi and the humerosa. The one I have has a tail that looks more like the humerosas I have looked at. Is there a determining factor that separates the humerosa from the yepezi? I will add a pic of the whole ray tonight when I get home.
A humerosa has a totally different pattern on the disk. I'll try and find a pic for you if someone else doesn't beat me to the punch
I think in my unscientific observations the P.yepezi cf = P. humerosa. Look at the eyes. A true P. yepezi looks nothing like the so called cf form.
But even so they should share at least some characteristics in common. Usually CF means just a different color/pattern not a completely different looking animal!
I am still going to post some better pics. From what I have notice about all the yepezi pics I have looked at is they seem to be more streamlined, longer, and have lower sitting smaller eyes. There pattern is very similar indeed. I will try to get a belly pic. Her underside is white and black. I don't know if that makes a difference.
Good looking ray for sure and I am still saying its NOT yepezi. Can you get better shots of her big pretty eyes?
