Scorpion, Lake County, CA  - Uroctonus mordax

Scorpion, Lake County, CA - Uroctonus mordax
Cobb, Lake County, California, USA
April 27, 2014
Size: @1 inch (curled up)
Hi,
I found this scorpion under a decaying cardboard box left next to our house. I'm having trouble figuring out which species might be native to my area. I read a post of another scorpion sighting there from a few years ago, that several people said was a Striped Bark Scorpion, but other responses saying they didn't live in Lake County.
Any information is helpful! Many thanks.

Definitely not a bark scorpion
But by the ridged claws and bulbous yellow telson(stinger) it may be a Anuroctonus pococki.
