Grammia eureka? - Apantesis

Grammia eureka? - Apantesis
Hyrum, Cache County, Utah, USA
June 10, 2019
Size: 35mm
These were all over my light sheet while night collecting, but I'm not a moth expert. I'm thinking Grammia eureka or apantensis ornata, any help is appreciated!

Apantesis nevadensis?
At PNW Moths compare the eyes in the ventral image of the holotype of eureka, a likely diurnal species, to those of nevadensis. They are much smaller. Much as I'd hope you had eureka, I think your examples fit nevadensis better than eureka or ornata. I'd move it myself but I've been tricked enough by this genus before.
