How about this one. I have been debating between Abagrotis cupida and
Abagrotis alternata.
I am leaning toward A. Cupida due to the terminal area of the wing not being
very pale or sharp as in A. alternata.

I think it's just Abagrotis alternata.

After three rounds of searching the Noctuinae pages on the MPG website, I
haven't found a match that satisfies me for the moth in the attached photo. The
closest matches appear to be Hodges #11033, A. scopeops and Hodges #11045, A.
anchocelioides, with the latter being the closer one. Comments please.
