Comment from Richard Willan on photo #5598
This is an unusual individual for two reasons – there seems to be hardly any orange marginal band or none at all and the gill pinnae (not the axes) have purple spots. Either this individual is atypical, or all the individuals from Myanmar are like this. Hopefully Jeffrey Davies has some more photos of other individuals.
