Hi,
Medeteras are quite frequent at the moment, and it would be great to get a species name for the depicted animal.
Many thanks, Sundew

Oops - no
Medetera! That's still better! So there are more Dolis with a "horse head", and it seems that
Medetera uses to sit more erect. I'll check my photo stock for a true
Medetera - there must be one...
Many thanks indeed, Igor!
