Hello,

A wonderful picture of a yellow-legged Tachind from Bolivia:

It reminds me of some Eudejeania spp. that I saw in the BMNH earlier in the year. I have one here with pale white tarsi and tibiae but colours could have faded from yellow and I seem to remember that other species were differently marked with more pale areas on the legs. Smile

That doesn't mean that it *is* that genus of course - there could be a number of similar genera Wink
