I think the male has the "swollen stinger", its a little bulb at the base of the aculeus. The tail on this one is long and slender (usually indicates a male) but can't see the actual sting in the pics. Also the swollen stinger scorpion (Anuroctonus pococki) is heftier-looking with shorter tail and legs. This one looks like an athlete in comparison! I'm not sure what species it is, could be Californian Common Scorpion (Paruroctonus silvestrii)
Could be a P silvestrii, looks pretty similar. Looking at him now it doesn’t have that bulb at all, it’s pretty smooth.

I'm still new, but I'll take a guess anyway. Maybe smeringurus mesaensis? I was thinking s. vachoni, but I don't think that's a popular species.

(Seriously though, I'm new and that's a guess. Wait for the more experienced and knowledgeable folks)
I would second Smeringurus vachoni, but I'm sure there are others here with much more Smeringurus experience than myself that have yet to chime in...
