yes, it's Owl Clover. I'm sorry it's such a louzy picture but the wind was non-stop. I should have taken more time to get this shot of such an unusual flower.

Orthocarpus tenuifolius, thinleaved owl's-clover, is a native annual common to open rangeland in good ecological condition. This includes mountain big sagebrush steppe and adjacent open understory of montane forests.

owl-clover is annual while paintbrush is perennial. Both are semi-parasitic, growing their roots around those of other plants to obtain nutrients. But they also grow green leaves to convert sunlight into carbohydrates, so they aren't considered true parasites. Besides, "parasite" carries a harsh connotation that's hard to square with something so delicate looking.
