Hey Rich,

There are similarities but Sparganothis distincta has a roughness to the wings, 
the head and collar are distinctly brown and the palps are longer than what 
this moth has.

This Tort from last night is stumping me. The only species I've seen here that 
comes close is Clepsis clemensiana but that's not what this is.

Any suggestions?
