Found in a stagnant pool with rotting seaweed and goose crap [I go to all the best places  ]Anyone know which Genus/Species this is? No lateral shots due to ground conditions!

My first suggestion would have been Helina latitarsis but it does seem to have hairy eyes. |

It is bare-eyes and wide-frons Spilogona, but I could not find species level.

Thank you Tony and Tristram for the input and Nikita for the Genus. Read up on these that they are nigh on impossible from photos. I only have 3 species of Spilogona on the Checklist for Shetland [for what that's worth]! They are Spilogona falleni, Spilogona surda, Spilogona trianguligera Regards Roger |
