RUTROH...

Am still contemplating this one...just realized you're in LA...you do get DBGS there too...but the RBH is more common.

...however, the small line on the forewing and hindwing are supposed to be lined with red...can't quite see it on your hairstreak. That lack of colors led me to think DBGS....but the orange coloring and lack of color on the hindwing spots leads me to think perhaps it is a RBH...but then again the blue spot has all the red markings above and below the cap like a DBGS :o) ...and then again...the white postmediam line on the forewing should be lined with a thick red band - which I do not see - so again, I lean towards it being a DBGS :o)

Confused ya'll ey?! Oh well, am comfortable with calling it a DBGS...but don't hold me to that!!!!

Whatcha'll think? Here's a Dusky-Blue Groundstreak from south Texas.
