Elysia diomedea from the Sea of Cortez

Hi Bill,
This looks like an Elysia, but as I'm unfamiliar with this region, could you please identify this critter? Again, from the Sea of Cortez.

Many thanks,

Dear Marli,
This is Elysia diomedea. When the parapodia are tightly folded it looks rather different, but the white lines on the rhinophores seem to be fairly consistent.
Best wishes
