Chuparosa

I got this shot of a red wildflower near Mormon Lake, southeast of Flagstaff, Arizona. After some research online, I think I have correctly identified it as a chuparosa (Beloperone californica) flower. If I am incorrect please let me know. After having daily monsoon rains for the last couple weeks, the hillsides are covered with wildflowers. This species is a very common one seen around Flagstaff.
