Notes

Within fitchi range but has a lot more red and a lighter head than others I've seen a few miles farther inland. First I've seen from this particular area though so I don't know if this is at all typical. (Edit: Initially ID'd as fitchi based on range. Jeff Boundy suggested it might be infernalis. I would guess it's in an intergrade zone, but it looked much more like infernalis.)
