Merrill, that was a species on my short list and was my strongest contender.
The only reason I didn't go with it is that white patch on the outer margin
near the apex that's showing on all the moths of this species pictured on MPG..
My moth doesn't look all that worn and it even appears to show some banding in
that spot which doesn't show up on the pinned moths on MPG.

I'd call it Olethreutes olivaeana 2778 based on the yellowish-brown general
color and the banding near the base of the FW. It is a strawberry feeder and I
bet you have those in your vicinity!

Do any of you recognize this probable Olethreutes sp? I haven't been able to
find a satisfactory match on MPG.
