Fiddler Crab

Uca sp.

Description:

Some sort of fiddler crab. It is tan with brown speckles and has a purple patch on the carapace. I am hoping someone can help me narrow it down to the exact species. Males have one larger claw that they wave in the air.

Habitat:

Sandy shore next to a river that is either salt or brackish
