Coordinator notes: Thank you! If you look closely, the postmedian line on the ventral FW is jagged appearing. This is present in an Eyed Brown, where the Appalachian Brown would have a smoother line present. If you search the two and compare multiple photos of each, you'll notice the difference (some online records are unfortunately misidentified....but you'll get the general idea).
