Note the white mirror and white tip to p10 but no mirror on p9 that can be distinctive on this species. Also its pale eye and pale legs. Its pear-shaped white head and small, abeit pale, eye could prove a trap for the unwary. An additional sign of its immaturity was the remnants of a broad dark tail band just visible in the first image above.
