Coordinator notes: Your suggested ID is essentially correct, as some consider the Glover’s Silkmoth to be a subspecies of the Columbia Silkmoth. Just an FYI, silkmoths like this one lack mouthparts and a digestive system as adults, so they can’t drink any flower nectar. But anyway, thanks for submitting your sighting!
