Moth - Dorsal view - Argyroploce externa
Entiat, Chelan County, Washington, USA
June 7, 2016
Found along the Entiat River. Notice it has a pinkish patch on its sides. Wondering if that might be diagnostic. Have not found a match yet.

Thank you Kyhl
I am amazed you figured it out! By the way, in case this info is useful. I found this one in the middle of the day while walking thru some brush - not at night at a blacklight.

The MPG photo does
show a similar pale patch. I am guessing because of the variability these are really hard to definitively ID.
