This is not E. dorcadion. In dorcadion, the brown color exactly fills cell r1. Here it stops well short of that. This is the abundant CA endemic (counting Baja CA) E. jonesi. These two species, along with caliptera, form a group of three species which are often mistaken for eachother in CA because the quite reliable wing color diagnostic features are nowhere published. They're all gorgeous.

Thanks, Andy,
this is the very helpful information I've been waiting for! The dorcadion was used as a broad brush until someone, you, could define this.
