Can someone I.D. this?

I was told this was Olympic Challenge, but now that it's bloomed and I've compared with OC online, they look different. Thanks for any help with I.Ding this iris.

I looked at photos of 'Alta California' and 'Alice Harding'.
They're in the ballpark but I don't think a match.
Maybe this will start the ball rolling. Are the standards lighter yellow than the falls? Do they lighten to white?

Hi again Eliose,

I found some better matches --- 'California Gold', 'Happy Days', 'Mystic Melody'. All of these are older iris.

Of those 'California Gold' looks closest, but with photos one can't be sure.

Thank you so much Iris_gal. I had hoped to check on the coloring again yesterday, but the bloom had already faded. There are some new buds about to open so I will compare those to 'California Gold'. Mine has just a tiny bit more white around the falls (new to learning the parts of irises), but it sure looks closer to 'California Gold' than any other irises I've also searched. Would be funny if it's 'California Gold' being that I got this iris from Maryland, LOL!
