Excellent pic, but confusing. There appear to be two structures on the left side of the epandrium and only one on the right (maybe the orientation). I'm excluding the surstyli at the top; in any event this is not a Suillia pattern (and I thought the head shot wasn't Suillia either). You need to run this through Gill's key to N. American heleomzids (which I used to have but my ex-wife destroyed in a fit of...guess) to get closer to the genus.
