Zosteropoda sp. likely hirtipes
I think this is likely Zosteropoda hirtipes, as I think the only other Zosterpoda sp. in CA (Z. clementei) is only found on some of the Channel islands off the coast of CA. The three clementei records in the CA Moth Database are all from different Channel Islands, and the moth was described in 1942 from specimens collected on San Clemente Island, so I think it is probably safe to call this hirtipes.

 
Thanks again.
It's great to see these go from nowhere to species.
