Plume Moth - Adaina ambrosiae

Plume Moth - Adaina ambrosiae
Pickens County, Georgia, USA
September 29, 2009
Size: wingspan as shown 15 mm.
Found at porch light.

There are a lot of plume moths and I understand that getting a species ID can be difficult.

I checked Covell (only two species described) and found out as much as I could online at
MPG, BG, GA Leps and plumemoth.com

The closest match I could find is Pselnophorus belfragei - 6154, but this is just a guess, as I know
basically nothing about plume moths. I did see a few other species that looked close as well.

Any comments on the ID of this moth very much appreciated.

Looks Like (first choice) 6154 - Pselnophorus belfragei ......
.... or 6160 - Adaina ambrosiae. (no rsvp, thanks)
