TO me, she looks like the picture posted for id in this thread..
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=21583&p=229226&hili ... 67#p229226

However, she does not look like the picture posted by Pufferpunk later on in the thread..

I believe Corvus Id the OP's puff as a leirus,

But, I see some Turgidus..as well..especially with the body shape, eyes and low activity level she had (it was day light).

In the thread Corvus states the snout is too short for a leiurus and thought it was a large Turgidus. Target puffers are so annoying to ID.

My guess would be a turgidus. If it is, you've got a puffer with lots of personality! :D
