Difficult for me as well. The ventral view looks distinctly like Archirhoe neomexicana, and the specie's range fits, but my dorsal view just did not appear sufficient. Then I checked the specie's pictures in "Moths of Western North America" (Powell & Opler) and it appeared more clear to me that your identification is correct.

Thank you very much
