I reckon this looks more like and is more likely* to be a Freshie, rather than a Saltie. Reasons being, it has a long, tapered, relatively narrow snout and smaller, evenly sized teeth; as opposed to a Salties relatively broad snout and larger, irregularly sized teeth. The tan body with dark bands on the body and tail also suggests Freshie.
*Statistically speaking it's three times more likely to be a Freshie along this stretch of the river, according to Atlas of Living Australia records.

Hi @actforbees, thanks for your sighting. It looks like the location information you provided is incorrect. This can occur if the GPS sensor in your device was having a bad day. Please review and update the location of this record when you get a chance.

I understood that P. latifisella has a short dark arc extending from the forewing apex, which is absent on P. xiphostola.

Looks to be a photo from a Boly Trail camera. You've been quite successful with it.
@MartinPredavec - How did you manage to get so many shots of goannas walking past the camera?
Did you drag a piece of meat along the ground or something?
