...lucky you, I'd hafta suggest the zonies in the San Gabriels are the same as the other Los Angeles area Mtns; the Santa Monicas...multifaciata...& not all of them have face splashes...
But being a lumper...I split zonies like others have done for a number of Cali-taxons; at the Sierra form & the coastal form. The geography of Cali was (if I recall correctly) recently as ~ 12-15000 years ago... w/ an inland sea

Nice shot of the 2nd zonie too...
