unknown moth - Hydraecia stramentosa

unknown moth - Hydraecia stramentosa
our land, along Hwy 88 near Praag, Buffalo County, Wisconsin, USA
August 21, 2011
Came to UV lights. This looks to me a lot like the "Hologram Moth" Diachrysia balluca, but the patterns are not quite right. There's no iridescence at all, and the green and gold and brown areas are slightly different. I've searched in the guide, and on MPG and can't find anything that matches this pattern. Any ideas?

I sent this to Bob Patterson, and got his help with an ID. There's no guide page for it, so I'm putting it here.
