NOAA picture

Can someone confirm that this ( http://www.photolib.noaa.gov/htmls/fish4556.htm ) is a picture of a Polycheles typhlops, please? There's a Polycheles sculptus next to it. May need some cropping before using this image in the article with an NOAA image template. Thanks. --PFHLai (talk) 19:30, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's a good question, and it's the reason I didn't include that picture when I wrote the article. I've got a cropped version ready, but hesitated about using it. Even with full descriptions of the species and its diagnostic features, and a picture of P. sculptus on its own, I couldn't be sure which was which in the picture of both. --Stemonitis (talk) 22:19, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
