Chlorochroa ligata? - Chlorochroa ligata
Four Jeffreys Campground, Inyo County, California, USA
September 10, 2016
I found this specimen among a good count of C. sayi and a single C. uhleri. This one seems to be C. ligata?

Darker overall than sayi and unlike that species it lacks the prominent 3 white central spots, and tiny scattered white spots are limited to only the hymenelytra. The legs are not bright blue like sayi, rather are darker, and the underside is dark greyish rather than greenish-blue. The laterotergites are much narrower than sayi and don't project out the sides as much. Plus the tip of the scutellum is orange rather than white. Odd thing!

Here is a neighbouring sayi for comparison:
