    Action: changed name from "Unknown" to "Crotalus sp. "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "This is certainly a rattlesnake, genus Crotalus. Most likely either a C. atrox, the Western diamondback, C. ruber, the Red diamond rattlesnake, or one of the many C. viridis, the Western rattlesnake. Any of those with faded facial markings is possible or a C. mitchellii
