I thought it was under G. ornata
Not sure how it ended up in G. elongata, but obviously I did something wrong without knowing, probably just subconsciously clicked on the name elongata because I was looking at that name in the text at the time (?). However, it does look very much like G. elongata. If interested, you can look at Chris's revision here.

Thanks for catching this.

And interestingly, after the fact I see, this comment was written as an edit to the "Moved" comment, yet it appears as an additional comment.

If this was ID'd by Chris then why isn't this moved to ornata? Do we have another image that would help confirm elongata?

Hi Chris. This photo was eventually accepted by Chuck Harp as G. elongata for the 2012 season summary. These days I spread the wings, for a hindwing view, on all of my Grammia photos.
