Lacewing larva?

Lacewing larva?
Arastradero Preserve, Santa Clara County, California, USA
July 26, 2008
Size: ~ 8 mm
This larva was found on an oak leaf. It seems distinctively marked. Probably a neuropteran larva - maybe lacewing? Is it possible to tell the family or genus?

Your ID is correct. Family is Chrysopidae.
