"There should be three species in Massachusetts and C. meralis is easy to rule out. C. clavipalpis occurs in both pale and maculate forms and this is obviously a maculate form of C. clavipalpis or C. multifera. Without genitalia examination it’s probably not possible to be 100% sure, but C. multifera tends not to have reddish areas on the wing and the white satellite spots around the reniform are more obscure, so I think it highly probable that this is indeed Caradrina clavipalpis."
