Santa Cruz County?

Geometrid Moth
Why did you think this was a female? Did you dissect it or observe some egg-laying?

 
No dissection, no eggs laid
I vaguely remember seeing an image of a specimen with thicker or a bit pectinate antennae and assumed that my moth must be a female. After looking again at other images, I can't see much difference among them in regards to their antennae. The following image appears to have thicker antennae, but I think it is just an illusion resulting from the shadow mixing with the moth:
