Coordinator notes: First photo is definitely a Long Dash. The second photo looks atypical for the expected ventral pattern. It's usually lighter in color and more uniform (this appears more Tawny-edged with a bold spot pattern)...is it possible you accidentally photographed 2 separate individuals here? -Jeff Gesell
