This is Not 10133 - Sympistis [=Oncocnemis] semicollaris
...it could be 10131.1 - Sympistis [=Oncocnemis] greyi. Ifthe head is dark brown rather than gray then it could be 10132 - S. ragani.

Re: This is Not 10133 - Sympistis [=Oncocnemis] semicollaris
The face was black. Or dark brown, I guess, but it looked black outside. Haha, I would have got more photos if I had known the moths face was going to be important in identification! Maybe tonight it will come back, though I don't know if it will be warm enough.

Thanks!
It also looks very similar to Oncocnemis greyi... What characteristics did you use to make the distinction?
