thanks Lee. The dark patches do look really similar...

I think probably Olceclostera magniplaga - see the dark area along the outer margin of the forewing, broader near the apex (see here http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxon=Olceclostera%20magniplaga)

most of the Olceclostera sp. on BOLD look exactly the same, but when in doubt, I usually choose Dan Janzen's name over the others, and assume they are all just synonyms for one another
