Callophrys gryneus gryneus

Observation date: July 18, 2020
Submitted by: Redheart Canyonlands
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Though Kaufman's does not show the range of this hairstreak this far west I believe it to be a Hessel's
Status: Resident

Coordinator notes: I can't see C. hesseli this far west, even as a battered stray. C. gryneus seems much more likely. Interesting sighting - thanks. And the more I think about this, I'm pretty sure it's C. g. gryneus.
