stumbled upon this guy during the chickadee incident. Snatched him up and saved him for later. He seems a little old and dried up though...
ID?

orangish red scales and a reddish brown point at the center

Gills:

3 cm
slightly tapering with thin tip and larger base
cut it open and it was full of larva

Other:
no sign of lactating or bruising
