Hi Larry,
My guess on your moth is D. contracta. but they sure look different than
the contracta I get on LI which are highly speckled with tiny black dots.
Here's why I think it's contacta: the fringe is straight (ruling out major,
drexellii, ministra, angusii); there are two dark dots between the am line
and the next line (ruling out perspicua); only the pm line has a white
distal shade (ruling out integerrima).
