Indian Stick Insect?

Indian Stick Insect?
Oakland, Alameda County, California, USA
October 4, 2009
Size: 8 cm
Found this on the side of my house in Oakland, CA. Not sure what it was doing next to my mail box, but there it was. My guess here is Carausius morosus, given the colorful armpits, but I don't have a key, and haven't seen many reports of it this far north. Can anyone confirm?
