Hello all,
I recently found a newt under a wooden barrel in my yard. I live at about 6000 ft asl in the San Bernardino Mountains of southern California. I'm new to the area and I don't know the local amphibians, but the arboreal salamander is known to occur here. If this is Aneides lugubris, however, it must be a very lightly pigmented individual (I'm not sure that it's a true albino). I've attached a photo. Any assistance you can give in helping me identify this lovely fellow would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Brian
