Emergent moth - Heliothis phloxiphaga

Emergent moth - Heliothis phloxiphaga
6 miles NW Lyons, Boulder County, Colorado, USA
July 6, 2019
Size: Costal FW ~7.5-9 mm
I found the pupa of this moth last September and overwintered it. The moth just emerged, probably earlier than usual. Seen in the Colorado foothills at ~6400' elevation. I have two more images. Color varies due to lighting conditions. Darker is truest color. Reminds me of the Drasteria group in Erebidae, but I can't find any with similar patterns. Any help is much appreciated.
