It's shaped like Tachystola hemisema, but wing pattern doesn't match

There are several potential matches by unnamed species of Tachystola in the BOLD page
http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/TaxBrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=102513
but none seem to occur near ACT.

My best idea is that it's one of the yellow Tachystola with much reduced black markings
