Maybe a Showy Emerald?

Subject: [ncsc-moths] Moth update
Fellow Moth-ers,
I have been going through some of this year's photos and I found the
attached photo that I took on April 5. After studying the emerlds page on
MPG it appears to me tht this is Chlorochlamys appellaria, 7073. Bug Guide
indicates that there are records of the moth from Arizona, Oklahoma, Texas
and Utah. I have found that many of the Oklahoma moths have also been seen
here, but I never assume that the link usually exists. As always I am very
cautious when my identification departs from range information that other
sources provide. I had reported nother tentative ID recently for a moth that
is in Arizona (don't have tht emil handy -- am using laptop, not desktop
where that email resides) and Steve Hall told me it was a Porcelain Gray.
Any thoughts on this one?
I have also had these moths recently:
Lesser Grapevine Looper, 7196 (and possibly Greater as well)
Bilobed Looper, 8907
Groundsel Plume Moth, 6210
Mimosa Webworm Moth, 2353 (neighbor has the very invasive Mimosa tree, will
point moth to it!)
Common Lytrosis, 6720
Red-washed Caterpillar Moth, 8010
Olive Angle Shades, 9546
Ochre Dagger Moth,9546
Plebeian Sphinx, 7793 (caught in flight and ID was a challenge)
Mournful Sphinx, 7851
