Sure looks like...
Lachesilla kola, male. The range is right and the forewing coloration matches. I have only seen this species much further west than Hays Co. Nice shot, by the way. I don't know if Mockford will agree, but I think so.

thanks
The dusky color in the wings definitely matches Lachesilla better. Here's hoping some more people chime in.
