rust-colored moth - Abegesta reluctalis

rust-colored moth - Abegesta reluctalis
Candelaria, Presidio County, Texas, USA
August 21, 2018
I've seen the darker A. remellalis in AZ and looked at the images here and on BOLD. It's not the best situation to determine a species mainly by color, especially when there seem to be conflicting images (light & dark) included in each taxon, but this one seems to fit best here. There was also a very gold-colored individual seen around the same time that looked quite different and I suspect might be A. concha. I'm not confident enough, though, and will place that other one at genus level.
