Which duskywing? - Erynnis funeralis

Which duskywing? - Erynnis funeralis
Fullerton Arboretum, Fullerton, Orange County, California, USA
March 31, 2009
butterfliesandmoths lists four duskywings for my county:

Afranius Duskywing (Erynnis afranius)
Propertius Duskywing (Erynnis propertius)
Mournful Duskywing (Erynnis tristis)
Funereal Duskywing (Erynnis funeralis)

I've photographed many of the latter two, but have never seen the first couple. This specimen has me puzzled. Can you provide an ID?

Thanks, David
From where/when I found it, that's what I thought.
