You may be right but I'm not a moth expert.

Macaria?
The closest match I can find in my Peterson NE N. Am. field guide is the White Pine Angle, but its range excludes California.

MPG gives these Macaria species in CA:

Macaria adonis - but doesn't look white
Macaria masquerata - but doesn't look white
Macaria signaria - has brown lines
Macaria unipunctaria - but dark splotches are more extensive

M. signaria looks most difficult to rule out. Is that the right species?
