Tentative ID. Just read the description "Moths of Western North America". The spots go away with age.

Looks like 2372 –
Ypsolopha cervella
but missing spots on inner margin. BOLD does show a couple without spots.
Very nice photo but please crop more tightly. This would have been easier to ID.

crop out antennae?
Yeah, I'm always wondering about that. Given a shot like this, I could crop as a square and get everything in but you wouldn't actually see any more detail, at least on BugGuide. Or I could show more detail but I'd have to crop out the antennae. Better to do the latter? I also try to link to the same stuff on iNat, but this time I forgot. Here's the link for this one:

yes
Crop off the antennae and add a linked second hi res image with the antennae. I will say, though, that I downloaded the image and cropped as a square and the moth was nearly 50% larger in the standard BugGuide view. It's good to remember that you want the thumbnail to be as identifiable as possible or it has a good chance of getting passed up by an expert.

Not A Crambid
At full resolution you can see the upturned labial palps.
