Texananus oregonus
Those long, spiny hind legs are characteristic of leafhoppers, not spittlebugs.

There are four species of Texananus that have a black face (just showing as a streak along the head margin between the eyes) but only two of these occur in CA, and of the two, T. vermiculatus is paler.
