Looks like a pretty good wash of yellow laterally on S8 and S9, though not a lot of yellow dorsally on S9. I'm no expert here though. Take more pictures?...hahaha

I sent all three of these clubtail pictures to a local expert, and his opinion was that they looked like Ashy Clubtail. He didn't differentiate between the three and admitted that it wasn't a sure thing. He mentioned that lividus "seem to like mud" which two of your three pictures indicate. I suppose you may have even had both lividus and exilis there?

Thanks for passing the photos along. Much appreciated. Certainly not simple identifications; always plenty to learn. Thanks again.
