The back legs look possibly distinctive.

it looks ike a R. dentipes? I cannot verify it here, but I believe this is a syn. of R. pilifer. Hopefully Paul will pop up and tell us that I am correct or absolutely wrong.

Stephen, the legs are perhaps typical, but look at the very weird genitals. I am pretty sure it is R. pilifer.
