Thanks, Rich. That does look close.

Now that you have me looking at Retinia, I wonder if 2889 Retinia comstockiana 
might be a better fit. My main concern with this one is many of the reported 
sightings look like mountain or northern sites.

I could use some help on this Tort seen last night. It appears to be a 
Rhyacionia sp. and the only reason I'm not lumping it in with the generic 
Rhyacionia frustrana is the size. It was significantly larger than what I call 
R. frustrana but it never held still long enough to be measured....it was 
running when I took this photo. I would compare it to the size of Pseudexentera 
spoliana.
