Schinia binaObserver
zdufranDescription
This observation is specifically for the moth on the left in these photos. I observed this pair of moths mating on the head of Pyrrhopappus, which is the host plant for Schinia mitis and I assumed both moths were that species. However, upon closer inspection I believe the more vividly colored moth on the left is Schinia bina. These images are screen captures from a video I was taking. The wind was blowing pretty consistently and exposing the hindwings and ventral sides of the wings, which further helps identify this moth.

Maybe new to me. iNat suggested the genus Crocigrapha. If that is correct, it's probably C normani, previously recorded in Oklahoma and neighboring states to the north and east.
