Without having a guitar at hand, I would say that it is:

5555---4-------3------2--------131----------010-----3--------2
4th----3rd----2nd---1st----1st&3rd-------1st-----3rd-----2nd finger
--------------------------------^
--------------------------------|| here you change the position

But i cannot try it if it's right at the moment.

right hand :)

for me it would be most likely:
555 5 4 3 2 1-3-1 0-1-0 3 2
imi m i m i m i m i
(ami)
(ima)
you can change i/m depending on your preference or the part that follows...the first few notes are tricky, if i want a hard staccato sound i'd surely go for imi (or mim), if i want them more to be smoother ornamentation then ima is my way...

Oh you wanted to know the right hand.

I would do the 5555 in the beginning like a tremolo: iami and then go on with picado starting with m because the tremolo is finished with i

Or are you lefthanded?
