It looks much darker and a bit different than the other photos of Agrotis porphyricollis.

Yes. The species is dimorphic, and this I think is the darker female. Both sexes seem to be variable, and MOV9 suggests there are 2 species going under this one name. Except for that, with photos, one never knows how much the lighting is affecting the apparent gamma. Let's see what Ian or Glenn reckons.

I thinkk this moth displays many of the characteristics of the Proteuxoa sp. MoV Part 9 calls 'Proteuxoa sp.(5) group'.
