Mountain Mahogany or Hedgerow Hairstreak? - Satyrium tetra

Mountain Mahogany or Hedgerow Hairstreak? - Satyrium tetra
Old Mission Dam area in Mission Trails Regional Park, San Diego, San Diego County, California, USA
June 19, 2004
Anyone know if this is identifiable? I remember seeing a lot of Hedgerow Hairstreaks on this trip that varied from very unmarked to the typical image you see in field guides. This one seems a bit extreme even for Hedgerow's variability, though. But can Mountain Mahogany Hairstreaks be this unmarked on the hindwing?

My impression is that it is a somewhat faded
Satyrium tetra (Mountain Mahogany Hairstreak).
