Coordinator notes: I based my original id. of H. thysbe very heavily on the broad border at the edge of the forewing seen in the 1st photo. However, the feet look primarily black, which would be an. H. diffinis characteristic. The coloring also looks closer to H. diffinis than H. thysbe, though thysbe can be greenish with little rust color. The face mask, also characteristic of H. diffinis, is not in plain view because of the angle. This H. diffinis appears to have a wing border broader than the norm but the feet color is what makes me think this is diffinis. See this guide on MPG. SAT
