Moved, Dermacentor sp.
Need to see the spiracular plate to reliable ID Dermacentor. In Coconono Co., one could possibly consider D. andersoni as well esp if in the mountainous regions.

Moved from ID Request.

spiracular plate rules-out D. variabilis
Looks like D. andersoni but I would need to snoop around to see what other options there are.

D. andersoni
A very robust looking D. andersoni, I think.
