Size: ~2cm wingspan.
Saw this guy while I was wandering through Sagebrush/Buckwheat with Canon 100-400mm lens, hoping to find Whiptail Lizard to photograph. Didn't find any lizards, but did get a reasonable photo of this guy, as close as the 100-400 would focus.

for the moment,
The ones in most of California are traditionally included in subspecies mormo, but I'm sure they'll probably be segregated out with additional subspecies names eventually.

Moved from Mormon Metalmark.
