I collected a noctuid (Autgrapha?) visiting flowers of Silene latifolia
in Colorado last summer.  Can anyone try to identify it for me?

You will find color photographs of all adult North American plusiine
noctuids (and many of their larvae, also in color), in Fascicle 25.1 of
The Moths of America North of Mexico (1991, Lafontaine & Poole). Retail
price of this fascicle is USD $70 (a good excuse to check your nearest
musuem or college library).
