Should be O. townsendi, no?
Maury's comment below indicates that it should be O. townsendi based on range. Another look at the BOLD results shows a match with O. townsendi at 99.85 and five matches with O. abbotii ranging from 98.32-98.86. It is still identified as O. abbotii at BOLD.

Moved from Moths. I'll have to read the monograph on this group to double check this ID. But seems like it's the only option! Nice image.
