Heliothis oninis (Flax Bollworm moth)?  - Heliothis ononis

Heliothis oninis (Flax Bollworm moth)? - Heliothis ononis
Mayfair, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
July 31, 2015
I spent hours trying to find a match for this little moth. Everything about it matches the Flax Bollworm Moth except there is no dark discal spot. There is however a trace of dark colouring where the discal spot should be so I'm assuming this is a pale form of the moth or else maybe a worn individual. If anyone can verify this identification I'd be most appreciative. Thanks in advance for your help!
