Hello,
Lambdina fiscellaria comes in a variety of colors and hues ... take a look at the ones posted right here on BG. It is easy to envision this as one of the group. The rather unique pattern and shape seems to remain consistent though.

Gord,here's an image that looks nearly exactly like yours. I'm tentatively moving your image there for now.
