Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I think I'm going to get myself in trouble with this one again. Perhaps I should lean toward Rocky Mountain (wish I had an underside shot!) as there is a lot of gray overscaling and it is much more likely for this area, but the patterning on the forewing looks more high-contrast than I expect with RM, with prominent white spots and gray inner edging mentioned in Glassberg for Meridian. Palps are rather large (RM), and I'm unclear about whether this shows prominent gray thorax hairs or not.

Coordinator notes: I see the issues and I'm not sure what to call it; it also could be Horace's, but I'll go with your gut. If you don't mind, could you also post it to iNat so we can get opinions from others? I can always go back in and change my ID if warranted.
