Thanks, Harry.
The odd thing was that I've seen dozens of Melanolophia canadaria this year and
other than these 2 that showed up at the same time, all have looked pretty much
like what I consider to be the standard for the species in my area. The one
linked below is pretty much what most I see look like.
