User's notes

This is the pair that have been observed actively mating and allofeeding. Because all previous photos were taken at quite a distance, or in poor light, I thought there there was no colour on the female. However, today I discovered that she is actually so young, she is just developing her yellow head covering (unless this is her adult colour). I've named her Dotty.
