Help ID my stingray

[iamfrontosa]

Hi All,
I need help ID this stingray. I am thinking he is a hybrid of some kind.
Any help is appreciated.

Forum member Skynoch had a number of Pearl/motoro hybrids for sale a while back out of Edmonton. Perhaps you have one of his?

It is Mantilla ish if it is wild caught. I have also seen cb "super spot" motoros look like that. If it is cb I would say it is a lower grade super spot. Higher grade ones have yellow spots. I will post a pic tommorow

No Pearl in there.

It also looks a bit like a ray that M_class2g had a few months back. Was Motoro/Henlei hybrid I believe.

The image has been deleted (one problem with members using third party sites to host photos - they disappear over time). Maybe M_class2g could repost a photo of that ray here for comparison purposes?

I know where you got it now and have seen them before. Personally though I think $400 is an ok price for that fish and know that the person who sold it to you was sold it as a Henlei from their transhipper (who has done that before with the same species). Basically meaning I dont think it was an intentional error.

They are super spot sp. Hybrids

Mantilla

Thank you. I didnt even know what Mantilla rays look like until today. I didnt think I have a henlei, and only wanted to be sure. So that when I decide to sell him, I know not to state him as a henlei ray.

Nice ray not mantilla or henlie but a hybrid. Really hard to pick out the parentage but almost looks like it could have henlie and motoro in it

Here is the grade a quality super spot.
