Coordinator notes: Could also be P. riscana as ranges overlap. P. riscana has been reported on BAMONA in MN before, while P. villana has not.
P. riscana seems to be darker in general than P. villana, but some P. riscana photos on BugGuide and FieldGuide Leps could arguably be matches. iNaturalist suggests P.villana while FieldGuide Leps suggests P. riscana. A lateral view would help, as always with any "three-dimensional" moths.
Accepting as P. villana only because it's lighter coloration seems more common.
