Thanks so much!
Thanks for identifying and moving this moth. IT is much appreciated.

.
I suggest . One example on MPG has much darker coloration and it has been seen in Colorada.

 
Lychnosea helveolaria
This L. helveolaria really does resemble my moth in every structural detail that I can compare, including the sculpturing of the top brownish band, the scalloped edging of the lower band, and the shape of the fore wings and hindwings. I am amazed at the difference in color. THanks so much for this ID. It is much appreciated.
