Mexican counterpart to Peach Blossom - Thyatira mexicana

Although I first saw this moth at a mercury vapor light, it disappeared before I could photograph it. When I went back to my room, it was on the outside wall, attracted to the ordinary porch light. This is Thyatira Mexicana, #6238, and adds the species to BugGuide. It sure looks like the British moth of the same genus.
