They moved her image to the species page for Helicoverpa zea which means that an expert determined the species
Actually that is only a suggestion. I wold suggest sending to butterflies and moths of North America because an expert will ID it more than a suggestion.
according to bug guide this is Helicoverpa zea

A day flying moth!
Thanks so much Jellis.I read that there are Polyphemus moths on top of Mt Diablo!
This might be a Heliothis phloxiphaga
