I think you may have missed the second photo Scott – clearly shows the head and forebody from a slight angle above. You can see the head shields and you even make out the loreal scale under magnification.
I’m with Snakepimp on this one. If memory serves me correctly, CTS from Sydney are solid green above and you don’t get the blue flecking until about the northern third of NSW (northern rivers or thereabouts). So it does not look local to me.
