Not Sure
Where does Ken say this is fessa? I think he's is likely correct but I'm not at all confident.

I see that the inner streak runs from the apex at an angle toward the inner margin and then bends around the reniform toward the base. But I also see a faint extension at the bend which continues toward the inner margin. This is not much different from 06-FLOR-0442 which appears to barcode as obliqua. It may be that some of these cannot be identified by photo.

I've tried posting a link, but not successful. It's posted on "Mothing and Moth Watchers." Ken's comment was, "Are you sure this isn't Amolita fessa?"
