Hi Simone - the females of these two species can be really difficult to tell apart, but I'm pretty sure, despite the depth of the blue triangular mark on the upper rear of the thorax, and based instead on the detail of the wavy blue lower thoracic stripe, that this one is a Slender Ringtail. It seems to be a good year for them in the region, too.

Thanks Harvey, I tossed up for quite a while. I’ll keep an eye out for a male
