It is a Rockhead Poacher! Can you believe it John? I've been wanting to see one for years - looked and looked closer to home and never spotted one. Would never have expected to see my first during the Monterey survey this year, but sure enough, the lovely Dana found it and showed it to me. They are super cryptic - pretty sure I wouldn't have spotted it myself. I went and found Janna and Claude and pointed it out to them at least five times - neither of them could break its camouflage - they kept shrugging and looking up at me with a "what?" expression on their faces.
