The photomontage is of what appears to be a minor worker from Rwanda, collector Gabriel Bizimungu, from a coffee plantation, at Bicumbi, 2005. The size and shape  are almost identical to the type image (above).  The colouration, however, obviously differs, even allowing for the magenta tint typical of Antweb imagery.
