The one I saw in late July was darker. Is it possible this one was once darker as well, but months of 90 + degree sun bleached it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the darker one you saw was further north in FL, then it would likely be ssp alleni. I believe extimus is pale year round. Here is a pic I took in the Everglades in Feb 2020. Pale, even in Feb. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
