Acronicta perdita - male

Acronicta perdita - Male
Eddy Mountains, 3,650', Siskiyou County, California, USA
June 4, 2019
I think this is Acronicta perdita, attracted to light. PNW shows this moth in my area and has good comparision images. According to PNW the male has a pure white HW with dark gray veins, the female's is gray. The white HW combined with the lack of an ocellus in the orbicular spot should distuinguish this moth from other Acronicta, like A. impressa.
