Plume Moth - Anstenoptilia marmarodactyla

I found this Plume Moth while out for a walk yesterday evening in downtown San Diego. Is anyone good at identifying these?

reminds me of
with the tan patch behind the dark triangle, white streak at outer margin - as well as the markings of the body ... what do you think about Anstenoptilia marmarodactyla - Hodges #6117


 
Thanks;
it certainly does seem like a match. Looks like it's already been documented in San Diego too.

 
Documentation
Yes, and this sighting will be a first for that area in this guide for February! Thanks!
