I am not really happy with my closest guess, but I do not have any other candidate to offer, sorry... Tarache expolita: The white spot at the back might be a little bit too small? http://bugguide.net/node/view/168959/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/559035/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/763763/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/217564/bgpage http://bugguide.net/node/view/806430/bgimage http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=9149 http://www.nearctica.com/moths/noctuid/acontia/tarache/tarache_expolita.htm http://www.flickr.com/photos/birdernaturalist/9323266575/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/birdernaturalist/9326014132/ What do you think? Any IDeas?? I also considered Tortricidae, but did not find a closer match than Expolita...
