This little fellow was found in a mosquito gravid trap. The photo is a bit darker than he actually was, which was a kind of light tan for the background color of the wings.

Lula has made a very good suggestion, but because I cannot see a completed upturn toward the costa in the PM line, I cannot confirm her suggestion.
