Found this in northern Utah not too far up the mountain under a rock. Not sure what kind it is?

Sweet! Thanks! I just lost my modoc after some struggles with losing her first workers. She was my first, so glad to have another shot.

Head not wide enough to be sensu stricto like C. modoc. Should be one of the several species lumped under C. vicinus.
