Day-flying Moth from Oakland, CA - Heliothodes diminutiva

Day-flying Moth from Oakland, CA - Heliothodes diminutiva
Redwood Regional Park, Oakland, CA, Alameda County, California, USA
June 2, 2012
Originally thought this was Eutricopis nexilis but now I'm wondering if it's something like Heliothodes. They all look so similar! This was feeding on Grindelia in a patch of serpentine prairie.

Would you mind telling me what led you to this ID? This group of moths confuses me.
