looks...
...just like this image that I posted here the other day:


I'm pretty sure it's a c-nigrum but I am not certain which; it seems like kind of a weird one as far as classifications go.

Pseudohermonassa bicarnea?
Thanks Katie. C-nigrum does look similar. But after searching the guide, this also appears to be very close:

Pink-spotted Dart - Hodges#10950 (Pseudohermonassa bicarnea)

So I am still not sure.

hmmm...
indeed, that looks very close, perhaps closer (really hard to say), especially since it seems like the epaulette area is lighter on that one. Good searching...maybe someone more knowledgeable than I (which is most folks...I'm just very much a beginner) can confirm...
