This is likely a Confused, based on the pale fringes, head paler than body and with white around the eyes, and shape of the spot in forewing cell CuA1 (points toward the median spots, not away from them). Compare with Northern Cloudywing. Orange Co., NC20 Apr 2006 | |

Confused Cloudywing (Thorybes confusis) Female, summer brood Confused Cloudywings always show the lowest spot of the subapical spot line disjunct toward the apex. (Southern Cloudywing always has this spot in line with the spots above it.) Note also that while the other spots are fairly wide, they are even wider in summer brood Southerns.
