Yellow-gray Underwing - Hodges#8788 - Catocala retecta-luctuosa

Yellow-gray Underwing - Hodges#8788 - Catocala retecta-luctuosa
Pickens County, Georgia, USA
August 22, 2009
Size: length 34 mm.
Found at porch light.

Catocala retecta - 8788 ?

The wing markings, coloration and size seem to match C. retecta, but Catocala can be wonderfully
confusing (to me, anyway). The black dash below the apex, characteristic of retecta, is pretty faint,
but this individual does look a bit worn.

I'd appreciate any comments confirming or correcting this ID. Thanks
