Large Yellow Underwing? - Abagrotis magnicupida

I think this is a Large Yellow Underwing, but I did not see the hind-wing. If it is, it will be a July data point for RI.

Abagrotis cupida or A. magnicupida maybe - see ? Perhaps we should get Hugh McGuiness to take a look.

Not sure…
Some of the HW is visible and doesn't seem vivid enough for this species. I think it's possible this is a lookalike.

I agree with Seth . Lightening your photo might help.
