It looks like Himantura granulata to me.

Hi Bella,

thanks for your quick help (you seem to be the only one).

Cheers Ted

Surely you didn't expect an answer about a nasty worm-eating fish from me?

I am not good with Stingrays except for a few, but that looks different.

In Ted's shot the snout appears more pointed, the body not as spotted and the white in the tail is not as pronounced (kind of hard to tell since the shots are on different angles ) plus fishbase does not place this one in the Red Sea.

All I know for sure it is not a Manta Ray or an Eagle Ray
