Choristostigma plumbosignalis
Rest stop between Houston & Burns Lake, northern BC, British Columbia, Canada
July 24, 2009
Found late morning in washroom at highway rest stop - may have been attracted to lights the night before.

At first thought this might be a Pyrausta species, then checked Moths of Western North America. Looks like their photo of Choristostigma plumbosignalis, I think. Also checked out MPG, Strickland Museum site & BG - not sure if the forewing markings are dark enough for plumbosignalis, but can't find anything closer ???
