Moved to Grammia incorrupta
Moved from Erebidae.

Because this species and those closely related are so variable, the ID should be considered tentative.

Grammia. I suspect which I see all the time. They are extremely variable.

Looks right.
Anyone want to confirm before it's moved there?

Matthew,

I am not an expert and do not move to species in Grammia - a very difficult and variable Genus. If you move, move to Grammia unless my opinion is confirmed.
