Looking for a scorpion ID, pretty sure it's a bark scorpion (Centruroides) but not sure about species

Scorpions in the genus Centruroides can be very difficult to separate based on color pattern alone; other factors have to be taken into consideration as well - see the descriptions at http://tinyurl.com/66pgawt - That aside, some species whose appearance can be similar to yours include Centruroides exilicauda (see http://tinyurl.com/4bvscjj), C. sculpturatus (see http://tinyurl.com/4ubp7no), C. elegans (see http://tinyurl.com/4m7rq42), and C. hentzi (http://tinyurl.com/66fza4y).

I throw in one more which is Centruroides vittatus which I thought might be it.
Btw your first link has a period on the end which makes the link not work directly.

Thanks - I'd intended to include Centruroides vittatus in my list, and simply forgot.
