Another addition to my front-yard lepifauna. I can't find it for my county at BAMONA (but maybe I missed something).

I believe it's a Common Sootywing
You might check that.

Thanks.
I'm convinced you're right. I think it's the first image of this species in the guide for New Mexico, and I've sent it to the regional coordinator of BAMONA as the first documentation in this county (though they have records for most of the rest of the state).
