Out late. Of course everything looks dark so it could have been anything. Revised ID based on pale trailing edge of hind wings and limited pale spots

nvhamlettDescription
Nectaring on Long-stemmed Buckwheat (Eriogonum elongatum) next to Palmer-Evy Mtwy.
Although Mournful and Funereal Duskywings can be hard to distinguish, I am pretty sure this is Funeral. Funereal Duskywings have more elongated forewings and a relatively larger triangular shaped hind wing. They also tend to be a colder brown, with relatively uniform dark forewings with little mottling and a distinct pale area towards the wing tip.
Mournful duskywings tend to be a warmer brown with distinct mottling on the forewing and lack the pale area towards the wing tip.

Field Thistle (Cirsium discolor)Observer
magpie_anomicaDescription
Largest thistle I have ever seen. Inclined to believe it’s not tall thistle due to the deeply sinused leaves (not lanceolate). If this is field thistle, it would be one of the tallest on record. Person is ~5 foot 3 inches.

kevinhintsaDescription
Three individuals seen on Narrow-leaved Goldenbush . The form of Juniper Hairstreak on Mount Diablo has never been described . It uses California Juniper as a host plant . The difference between Muir`s Hairstreak and Juniper Hairstreak seems insignificant .

I had never seen a butterfly nectar at honeysuckle before. This butterfly spent several minutes visiting flowers on two of these plants. And the next day I also saw one on this plant.
