Clearwing - Synanthedon albicornis

Clearwing - Synanthedon albicornis
Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, USA
June 16, 2009
Size: ~1/2 inch long
Very small. White bands on the antennae were very distinct, though they don't show up very well in this photo. I took a ton of photos of this specimen, but this is the only one that has good focus on the wings. Hoping someone with more knowledge will be able to tell the species. I couldn't find any in the guide that had this wing pattern.

Moth ID
I believe this is Synanthedon albicornis. It is the western willow borer.

I am not an expert (at all, haha), but look through Carmenta.
