(My dad's a geologist and an artist, everybody.) Although we're talking about my drawing, and I have no experience describing well cuttings under a microscope and instead had to completely invent what I thought ochraceous-tawny and ocherous rufous looked like.

That was fast.<br/><br/>Dr. Hoo Hoo and Fishing Guy, thanks for your excellent attempts—you were both close, and Dr. Hoo Hoo just had two of them swapped. And Dr. HH, I was wondering the same thing about ocherous vs. ochraceous. You see what I'm up against?<br/><br/>Maggie, you are indeed correct about the alphabetical order of the mice…but the person who correctly identified all five mice is ChileJack! So he wins this contest.<br/>He also happens to have won the genetic contest of being my dad! Perhaps his own familiarity with oil paints helped him with the ochre questions.<br/><br/>Clockwise from the top-left mouse, to the right of my initials, they are Canyon Mouse (Peromyscus crinitus), Aztec Mouse (Peromyscus aztecus), Gleaning Mouse (Peromyscus spicilegus), California Mouse (Peromyscus californicus), and Hooper's Deer Mouse (Peromyscus hooperi).
