This source claims the E was from VFA-87 (Oceana based), flying off the BUSH.
"Furthermore more details about the engagement were revealed by the word famous modern military aviation
author Tom Cooper on Facebook. In fact it seems that the Su-22 kill was scored by an F/A-18E Super Hornet from VFA-87 Golden Warriors that apparently fired two missiles: one
AIM-9X Sidewinder from a range of just 0.6 miles which missed the Sukhoi; and then an
AIM-120 AMRAAM which shot down the Su-22."
