Epicauta sp blister beetle spotted - Epicauta andersoni

Epicauta sp blister beetle spotted - Epicauta andersoni
13 miles SE Las Animas, Bent County, Colorado, USA
May 29, 2013
This handsome spotted blister beetle was seen on a BioBlitz survey on property owned by SPLT (Southern Plains Land Trust). There are seven or so maculated species listed in Blister Beetles of Colorado. Are there enough details in the photos to get to species? This one seems somewhat like the description of andersoni with largish spots, some of them confluent, and prominent palpi. Any help is much appreciated.
