Diamondback moth moth? - Plutella xylostella

Diamondback moth moth? - Plutella xylostella
El Paso, El Paso County, Texas, USA
December 7, 2015
Size: 8 mm
I put the pupa in this series into rearing chambers. Four days later, this moth, which I suspect is Plutella xylostella, came out. It looks somewhat different than the typical P. xylostella that I have encountered before, but I don't know what else it could be.
After talking with three Lepidopterists about these images, it is obvious that I need to unlink them as the consensus was that they are different species. Sorry for the confusion that I may have created with these submissions.
