Probably Antaeotricha schlaegeri - Antaeotricha lindseyi - Male
Big Burro mountains, Gila National Forest, Grant County, New Mexico, USA
September 15, 2013
Size: wingspan = 28 mm
This could be A. lindseyi, but I've called it A. schlaegeri because it was found in NM. A. lindseyi is found in nearby Cochise county, AZ, according to the MPG.

Moved
Moved from Schlaeger's Fruitworm Moth. See original description now linked under this species. It is very helpful in separating this species from schlaegeri. The darkish dorsal patch is continuous in lindseyi, whereas with schlaegeri the dorsal patch is broken by white near the median area. The original description includes New Mexico within the range of this species.
