Forest Scorpion....Maybe Uroctonus mordax - Uroctonus mordax -

Briones Regional Park, Contra Costa County, California, USA
December 21, 2007
Size: 25+ mm

After checking the guide I believe this to be a Uroctonus mordax but I am such a novice that I need confirmation from the Pros. Found under a Coast Live Oak log in an oak and grass woodland. Thanks for any help you can give.
