Found on leaf. It looked very beat up, guessing from mating behavior? Missing half of left wing and was missing its rear left tibia/tarsai?

Looks like Gorytes atricornis? Bug Guide did not have much information. Legs look brighter yellow on my specimen than G. simillimus, but not sure if that is an ID characteristic?

Areolet present, body black, tegula fulvous, coxae fulvous, hind femur fulvous with darker apex, hind tibia and tarsi dark brown and ovipositor roughly the same size than wings, palpi fulvous.

First match seems to be C. harringtoni.

Though C. rufocoxatus is a close competitor but the wings are supposed to be hyaline (hyaline or lightly tinged with brown in harringtoni). However, its said brownish-fulvous tarsi may be a better match than the dark brown tarsi of harringtoni (the apex looks more fulvous here).
