Hesperoperla hoguei
For now, anyway. My colleague, plecopterist John Sandberg, and I have examined a specimen from the North Fork Garcia River (also in Mendocino County) that matches this one pretty well. The color pattern differs a bit from that of the Hesperoperla hoguei that I posted last year, in particular, note the two black spots on the head.

Nice shot of a beautiful stonefly. Thanks for posting.

 
Thanks very much
for the expert attention.
