Abagrotis variata? - Caradrina

Abagrotis variata? - Caradrina
Spokane, Spokane County, Washington, USA
October 3, 2014
Not near as sure that Abagrotis variata is the correct name here as there were several similar moths in a Discover Life WA search. What led me to this choice mainly was the 3 white dots along the outer forward (lower side as pictured here) edge of the front wing. But there were two other moths that were also similar.

It does look like Caradrina Montana. That was one of the other moths I was trying to choose from, but didn't have the set of pictures you linked me to. Thanks for the help.

Thanks again
Again a better set of pics than what I was trying to choose from. Caradrina Montana looks to my untrained eye like the correct ID.

Hope you don't mind
but I color corrected image. Hopefully a moth expert can confirm the ID.
