The possibilities are M. ferox, M. mundifica, M. modesta and M. tosticauda. While they are easy to separate with close examination, identification at a distance is more difficult. I think ferox is the most likely with the others in decreasing order of probability: mundifca has mostly been found further north; modesta has a broader abdomen than other species and tosticauda is smaller than the others.
