Tom, this is a perfect little spider. I'm not sure if my new quail skin is m or fm, but this is a nice shot to show off it's quality.

W,
Thanks. I just got this female C.quail yesterday and wanted to try it out. From the pictures I have seen the male has more grey/dun coloration on the neck and shoulders, the female has a hint of dirty brownish olive in the otherwise dun colored feathers. I really like the look of both.
Tom
