11062 - Eutricopis nexilis
Chuck Harp made the identification at my request and reports: "The Heliothine is Eutricopis nexilis (#11062). It feeds on Antennaria (pussytoes) and can be confused with Schinia intermontana. Nexilis has just two yellow 'dots' on the HW not with a third. Not seen in this photo, nexilis is only similar Heliothine with the pink also on ventral side. It looks like this is a new county record. I'll record it and pass it on to Jon Shepard (Lep Soc coordinator for ID)."

ID
Maybe Schinia persimilis, in the Heliothinae subfamily of the Noctuidae.
