Mockford says ...
this is X. sommermanae. The forewings are relatively clear and the darker veins stand out.

Mockford says ...
"At present, the following differences separate the two: 1) X. quillayute with dusky wings with pattern of dark and pale veins showing only obscurely versus in X. sommermanae wings clear with distinct pattern of dark and pale veins and 2) X. quillayute with green eyes in life, vs. X. sommermanae with yellow eyes in life." These two species are very closely related so ID is not always easy.

Those green eyes probably indicate indicate X. quillayute. I have difficulty separating the two so I'd better ask Mockford.
