I would think it's a Spur thigh but what subspecies, im not sure, sorry. (Except to say I don't think it's a Tunisian due to no "yellow splodge", on its head!)

Where does it say it's from on its papers that might help narrow it down a bit.

As sandy says I'm going towards an ibera and I was thinking female but still a bit young to be deffinate just yet.
I do have some greaca greaca that look similar but unless you know exactly where they have come from you will struggle to get a 100% accurate ID. |

Maybe I am wrong, but I have kept both species in the past, and used that as a guide along with carapace colour.
