The closest species based upon what I can see would be Synanthedon viburni.

Host plant in CO?
Hi William,

According to the BugGuide Info tab, the host plant for this moth is Viburnum dentatum. I looked up the plant species on the USDA PLANTS website, which does not show it occurring west of the Mississippi corridor or east Texas. Does the moth use some other Viburnum species that occurs in Colorado (where the above individual was photographed) as a host? Or are people planting nursery-grown V. dentatum in the state for landscaping?
