Are there any other opinions on this report?

Very hard to distinguish from E. excursaria without seeing whether there is a step at the costal end of the hindwing submarginal line,
which is obscured in the pose in this photo.

Agreed. I think I can see a ghost of the light centred circle in the middle of the hindwing that is typical of E. bispinaria, but am certainly uncertain.
