The clean pale forewing costa is good for Idaea.
The dotted rather than dashed margin looked more like Scopula though.
Is this variable?

Looking at it again, I think Don's suggestion was the best one.

AFD has no record for Scopula philocosma?

Yes, I got the genus name wrong - it's Idaea. I wasn't able to fix it last night and have emailed Michael.
