Moved from Frass.

Tentative ID per comments below. If correct, nice record for the Guide. Do you have a view of the hind wing?

5157 – Rhectocraspeda periusalis
This looks like a good match for Rhectocraspeda periusalis. References here. Note the am. line is outwardly curved and the pm. line goes from the costal margin toward the anal angle and then straight toward the base nearly touching the reniform spot before angling toward the inner margin.

I replaced your image after rotating and cropping. Your image is no that bad but because it was not rotated and cropped, it appeared to be unidentifiable. I saved the original if you want it back.
