Thank you for posting this photo
It gives a nice view of the slightly darker stained areas along the veins in the wings. I've seen this on O. californicus - pale brown form, and also on a species in Nicaragua. It may be present on others, but your photo shows it really well. It's also nice that you can see the metanotal gland under the wings.

Glad you like it -
I thought it was really cool and didn't even know what I had. Thanks for your explanation.
