Oncopeltus fasciatus? - Oncopeltus

Oncopeltus fasciatus? - Oncopeltus
Sacatara Canyon, Tejon Ranch, Kern County, California, USA
August 23, 2015
This bug is very close to Oncopeltus fasciatus but thought it was worth checking out. It has a black break in the pronotum margin, has a pair of small "eye" spots on the upper of the two red square markings just beside the scutellum, and seems subtly different on the underside?

Moved from Jalysus. We're sure that was an accidental move.

Interesting
I can't find anything (exactly) like it in the guide! A form of Oncopeltus fasciatus would not surprise me.
