kevinemetcalfDescription
A modest-sized individual. Found in rocky, clear, fast flowing stream. Belly dark gray but not inky black. Eyes appear to me to be smaller than the black-bellied species - eyes slightly more almond-shaped and less bulging than black-bellied. But, open to correction on ID as these can be difficult.

talusrockDescription
Posted on behalf of a co-worker who found it under a rock in the creek. I'm guessing this is a leucistic dusky, but a leucistic northern red also seems possible. I count 13 or 14 costal grooves, which is more consistent with a dusky than a red. Open to suggestions though!

LD23013, adatsihi field ID, but 12s sequencing has this nestled within the imitator clade
light belly, no cheek patch
Enzyme cut site PRESENT.
Cut PRESENT.
Enzyme cut site TCGA is found in imitator but not D. adatsihi, so this is also indicative of D. imitator, rather than D. adatsihi.

I know this has been recorded in nearby observations but it is interesting to see how it mimics Jordani and Shermani at the same time. Jordani must have been in that area historically.
