San Bernardino forest moth 8 - Macaria quadrilinearia - male

San Bernardino forest moth 8 - Macaria quadrilinearia - Male
San Bernardino National Forest, San Bernardino County, California, USA
August 13, 2009
Size: 25-30mm WS as shown
Somewhat worn looking male geometrid, but there may be enough of the markings left to make out some kind of ID. Digrammia/Macaria maybe?

Moved from Geometrid Moths. Pretty sure it's this species... looks essentially identical to Jim Moore's image here:

There are a few other similar Speranza in SoCal but after comparing pinned specimens this is definitely the best match.
