Notes
Salamander was flipped under large rock in stream. About 4-5" snout-tail. Appears to have the streaked coloration of D. tenebrosus, but limbs are relatively short as in D. copei. It may be a hybrid between D. tenebrosus and D. copei. A much smaller larva was later frightened from its hiding spot by this guy.
