I've been told that the pygmy mulgas are being split up and the ones from the Kimberley area are P. weigeli and the ones from the Mt. Isa area (where this one was found) are P. pailsi ...I am just going off info that I was given by somebody that works for the QLD museum.
I also think that I stuffed up with my P. aspidorhyncha and it may actually be P. mengdeni?

Where was the brown found? It looks more like an aspidorichna to me.
 
It was found at Windorah, this is a picture of an aspidorhyncha I took over the weekend in the St. George area...to me they look very different in the head shape and head size compared to the rest of the body?

 
Who knows!? It does have a slightly rounder look to it's head so maybe mengdeni. But they just about all look the same to me!

Scott Keogh's work on the P.nuchalis complex wasn't exhuastive - there were several areas where no DNA specimens were used, including all of QLD. You need to key the animal out, rather than rely on locality information.
 
Matt & I were talking this morning, and when looking at the rostral scale (in other photos of the same snake) on this snake compared to that of a P. aspidorhyncha along with a P. mengdeni we found in Alice Springs, we're quite positive this is a P. mengdeni.

Can you post up the other pics? They'd be good to have a geeze at.

Sure, here you can see the difference in the size of the rostral scale. The P. aspidorhyncha shot is a bit dark but you get the idea.
