Lasiopogon
Nice mating pair of Lasiopogon, probably L. fumipennis based on the habitat (they sure love perching on fallen logs in the mountains out west) and coloration (e.g., medial stripe down the scutum, solid light/dark stripes on the abdominal segments). Usually their haltere knob has a bigger dark spot, but I think this one has enough of a spot to count.
