it could be about this but me I am a little beginner
Mitra (Mitra) coffea Schubert, H.G. & A.J. Wagner, 1829
This may be M. sarmientoi (Poppe, 2008). A rare shell in Philippine.
It was misclassified as Mitra subflava (Kuroda & Habe, 1971) by  Cernohorsky.
I have one 27mm juvenile and one 59mm adult shell.
