Saturniid? - Hemileuca juno

Saturniid? - Hemileuca juno
Snyder Hill Waste Treatment Ponds, Pima County, Arizona, USA
November 12, 2006
Size: 60mm
A friend found this moth while we were birding at this site - dead near the door of the headquarters. Thinking it may be a Saturniid of the genus Hemileuca. Looked thru Walsh's SE AZ moth website and it looks similar. Can anyone confirm/correct and ID species? Wingspan about 60mm.

Thanks
Robin. Yes, that looks like it.

again Robin. It's always fun to add a new species page to the Guide.
