Hi Chrissy
I believe this is Argyria nummulalis (5460) not rufisignella. See the comment on this photo . You can also see photos and use an Argyria key here and
here.

Thanks
I looked at the comments of Bob Patterson on BG about Richard Brown's work with Argyria nummulalis and Argyria rufisignella. I decided to post my image in question here on Facebook, asking Richard if this was Argyria nummulalis. He said this: "The posted photo is A. nummulalis. A rufisignella has only a small brownish orange spot on dorsum (inner margin) and is distinctive in having strigulae of the same color on the FW costa."

Thanks so much, Gary.
