Kyle, For what is worth, I, in my opinion, have seen a few of this species with almost NO yellow PM dots.

In Texas this would be Litodonta hydromeli but it has some coloration to it.

I have never seen this moth, but I think yours looks like the frist spread specimen on MPG it MPR.

Litodonta contrasta. If so, it would be an exciting find. With your permission I will send your photos to Dave Wagner.
