Moved tentatively
Moved from Erythroneura coloradensis.

E. coloradensis has black lateral angles on the scutellum; since this individual lacks that, can't be coloradensis.

I believe E. vitifex is the best possibility, so tentatively moving here.

 
Thanks!
Yes! You are right about the missing dark spots on the scutellum.

Erythroneura coloradensis
The way the red markings "fade out" towards the wing tip, and the large black spot there, are both characteristic of this species.
