My booklet says: Akaka figures - can be identified by their long fingers and feathered head dresses. They occur in white clay, charcoal and several colors.
Anthromorphic figures.
The figure on the far right I think is similar to Skatakaamcha (seen at Honaki Site) is the major supernatural being in Yavapai creation stories. Depicted here in the Red Rock country outside of Sedona, he is usually drawn larger than other figures in a rock art panel. Here, he is just over two feet tall. The triangles outlining his body probably indicate his association and importanceas the first rattlesnake shaman. He appears in dreams to provide knowledge and instructions to those chosen to be rattlesnake shamans.
