Thanks, Jean. My moth is pretty worn but I think some sign of that patch would still be visible if it were a 9057.

Ken, all the 9057 moths on MPG and Bug Guide have a distinct white patch in the thorax area. I would guess yours is 9056. Here is my 9057. Even from a lateral view, you can see the white at the back of the tuft.
