Moved from Drasteria.

Maury was correct the first time. Notice that the sharp-black patch between the reniform spot and the median band is missing or obscured. More details can be found on the info pages.

Moved from ID Request.

Hindwing color fits Drasteria hudsonica but could be worn and the shape of the antemedian band appear more like D. adumbrata. Tough call from this photo. Probably best left at genus level.
Thanks.
