Found by the side of the road after a rain shower
Determined by Salvador Vitanza
Confirmed by Aaron Schusteff, who said: “The fairly long 3rd antennal segment (i.e roughly equal to 2nd antennal segment) places this in subgenus Pachyconops. And the overall reddish color, western U.S. location, and lack of a whitish pollinose post-vertical (= along upper-hind edge of head) stripe, indicate P. gracilis (and eliminate other members of subgenus Pachyconops).”
