Thanks for the info, Sam and Brian.

That animal was without a doubt coerulea. Eye color, irregular dorsal pattern, lack of red barring, etc. After seeing a million of each the call is instantaneous. Some places, such as the famous Boa spot, do have both, though coerulea do not show up as regularly up there.

As far as know many areas have both... This was the only SF we saw..
