I'd suggest the Field Crescent, because it would be within its range and the markings look like more of a match to me, but I'm just an amateur. I have seen a ton of both Field and Pearl Crescents here in Colorado, though.

Could be a male Pearl Crescent. It would be a bit out of its usual range though.
