This is not the same moth as
This is not the same moth as the other pics, but I believe it is the same species, sordida. The species occurs with both a black blotch along the wing margin, and without, such as this. The only other look alike is gracilis, but gracilis shows a distinct black dash where the body meets the forewing (wing base), which is missing here.

Thanks! I thought it was I have 2 here that are almost exactly the same.
I took a second round of photos and I guess I mixed them up. Sorry about that. I'll look and see if I can find the right one.
