Found in bird's nest. Can anyone tell me if it is Ceratophyllus gallinae or not?
I have other views.

There are a lot of species. Cook the whole thing in KOH and make photos! I have a key.

Sounds like something I would mess up. I will keep it as cf. Ceratophyllus sp. and hope I can get away with that ;)

Can You be 100% sure in the genus? (Just asking). If You like, send the specimen to me.:)
