I believe this is P. bairdii based on yellow median spots on the VHW with very little orange, and how the black eyespot on the DHW appears to be offset towards the bottom of the red scales, though that is hard to tell here. These are unfortunately the only photos I got.
Was nectaring at lance leaf scurf peas; not the greatest photos but I did note green eyes

At least 15 individuals flying in this large patch of Eriogonum corymbosum, including egg-laying females and individuals in copula. There were more females than males and the males were generally much more worn than the females.

Pair in copula, perched on broom dalea, but surrounded by fairly extensive patches of Eriogonum effusum. No other Eriogonum detected here on this visit.
This site had lots of Eriogonum effusum in bloom and this individual was nectaring from several plants, but also non-Eriogonum as I chased it around a bit. There were no other Eriogonum evident, and certainly no E. corymbosum.
Pair in copula on Eriogonum effusum. The last few images are of the same pair, but after they flushed to a different plant.
